Box Suffragettes  Autumn 2025   Issue 49 

The story of the Suffragette Movement in Box has never been recorded previously. Now a number of local history enthusiasts has assembled their research to produce details of local men and women involved in the movement in the years before the First World War. The story includes a confrontation with David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and attempts to sabotage Box Railway Tunnel.
