SUFFRAGETTES LEAD 2018 EXHIBITIONS



This season's exhibition at Leatherhead Museum will focus on the story of the Suffragettes and suffragists in Leatherhead to mark the granting of votes for women a century ago this year. The garden of Hampton Cottage, shown above, will become a "suffrage garden".

Also featured this year at the Museum will be the story of Ashtead Pottery which existed from 1923 to 1935, providing work for men disabled during the First World War, and a historic photograph album presented to the Museum on behalf of the late Pearl Kew. 


The Museum reopens on 5 April with a formal opening ceremony at 10.30am on Saturday, 7 April. The guest of honour will be Jim Fuller whose uncle was an Ashtead Potter.
