Building   

Gunmakers Arms

Categories: Food & Drink

Former public house located at 438 Old Ford Road. Sylvia Pankhurst and her fellow suffragettes converted it into a day nursery and called it The Mothers Arms.
The photograph does not portray the actual building, but shows how the area looked in the early 1900s.
