about

In December 2018, a bronze statue of Annie Kenney created by Denise Dutton was unveiled in Oldham centre. The date marked the centenary of the first votes for women in 1918.
Annie Kenney, by joining the suffragette movement and becoming part of their leadership had given much of her life to the cause.
She was from humble working class origins, one of twelve children born in Springhead, Saddleworth, now part of the Oldham borough.
Like many others, the Tinkers felt that her life should be celebrated and chose to do this in song to coincide with the above celebrations in Oldham.
