West End Women’s Heritage Walk
Saturday, 19th August, 2017, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
£6.00 – £10.00
Glasgow’s West End, the home of rousing radicals, tireless teachers and steadfast suffragettes!
West End Women’s Heritage Walk, Saturday 19th August, 2pm to 4pm, Meet outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Our West End Women’s Heritage Walk shares the story of remarkable, unsung women; a story of protesting, rallying activists, and of the rent strikers and “wild women” who built this part of Glasgow and whose contribution can still be felt today. Hear about formidable Rachel Johnston, a pipe-smoking labourer and special constable, and pay a visit to the Suffrage Oak on Kelvinway.
It’s time to reveal the hidden history of the women of the West End…
We’ve launched a new Stamp as you Stomp loyalty card – get yours on this walk and if you do all six heritage walks, you’ll get a special GWL treat!
