A photocopy of a newspaper article from an unnaed newspaper describing a suffragette meeting on Shipley Glen on Sunday 31 May 1908. The article seems to be a copy of the one in the Yorkshire Daily Observer of 1 June - see D3-031c. The leading activist Emmelinbe Pankhurst, (Honorary Secretary of the Women's Soical and Political Union) addressed a large crowd (estimated to be several tens of thousands). Mary Gawthorpe, Nellie Kenny, Adela Pankhurst and 'Mrs Baines and others' also spoke. Large number of police were present to keep order, from what is reported as being a rowdy crowd.
