"It may not look like much from the outside, but inside two Victorian villas on Nelson Street you’ll find The Pankhurst Centre – a heritage site of women’s activism. Once the home of local Manchester political campaigner and icon Emmeline Pankhurst, who lived at 62 Nelson Street from 1898 to 1907, it’s here that the very first meeting of the suffragette movement took place. Cut to the present day and visitors can now drop by to explore the story of women securing the right to vote."

The home of inspirational leader Emmeline Pankhurst, the first Women’s Social and Political Union meeting was held here in 1903. Nowadays, the place has been converted into a museum detailing the battle for women’s equality in Britain and celebrating its great former occupant."

Bakewell
"Bakewell is perhaps best known for a confection which was made totally by accident, when in the nineteenth century, Mrs Greaves, a cook at the Rutland Arms was baking a jam tart but misunderstood the recipe and poured egg mixture over the jam instead of mixing it in the pastry to create the first Bakewell Pudding. Today most visitors to the town sample this culinary delight, Bakewell Puddings can be purchased at several establishments across the town, which all claim to possess the original unique recipe. The Bakewell Pudding Shop makes for an interesting place to visit, with information panels and exhibits to view."
