This was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia from 1897 to 1907. They were the founders of the Suffragette Movement. It is on Nelson Street near the University and hospitals on Oxford Road south of the city centre. Fully renovated, three rooms act as a small museum, and the rest of the building is used as meeting space for various women's groups.

Parlour, 62 Nelson Street
The Pankhurst Centre, 60-62 Nelson Street, is a pair of Victorian villas, of which number 62 was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Sylvia, Christabel and Adela between 1897 and 1907.
This historically significant building is the place where the first meeting of the Women’s Social and Political Union was held.
“It was in October, 1903, that I invited a number of women to my house in Nelson Street, Manchester for the purposes of organisation. We voted to call our new society the Women’s Social and Political Union.” ~ Emmeline Pankhurst, In My Own Words
Saved from demolition as part of the expansion of Manchester Royal Infirmary site in 1979, the buildings have been restored and converted into a small museum and heritage centre displaying information about the Pankhursts and the Suffragette movement. It is open to the general public on Thursdays and on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Entry is free (http://www.thepankhurstcentre.org.uk/ The Pankhurst Centre).
Both houses are listed buildings; number 60 is Grade II-listed whilst number 62 (presumably because of its extra historic significance) is a Grade II* listed building.
