The Suffragettes movement in the south of the Thames

There was a great deal of activity by women suffragettes in the area between 1906 and 1913 including the burning of houses, burning a train, burning a race course grandstand, breaking into Kew Gardens and destroying plants and burning down the tea house, breaking windows, pouring phosphorous into letterboxes.
