West End Women’s Heritage Walk, Sunday 22nd July, 2pm to 4pm, £10/£6
Glasgow’s West End- the home of rousing radicals, tireless teachers and steadfast suffragettes!
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 a pay a visit to the Suffrage Oak on Kelvin Way. It’s time to reveal the hidden history of the women of the West End…
Meeting Point: Gather outside the Argyle Street entrance to Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. Please do not arrive without having booked your place in advance as tour guides are not able to take payment, and the walk may be full. Bookings close on the Thursday prior to the women’s heritage walk.
