Sheffield Networks of Activism - A free guided walk

Queen Victoria's reign began with violence for the city and saw early Women's Suffrage, Chartism, early Unions, the Sheffield Outrages, and political reform that saw the election of working-class Councillors to the new City Council. Violence was never far from the surface as social reforms came slowly and the Edwardian era saw a return to Women's Suffrage at the end of Victoria's reign.

This walk is led by Nigel Slack, chair of The Victorian Society, South Yorkshire. Meet in front of Sheffield Town Hall Entrance on Pinstone Street, Sheffield at 1400. We estimate that the walk will end at approx 1600.

There are some steep parts to the walk behind the Cathedral, where care will also be needed on uneven surfaces.
