Information

Many suffragettes were imprisoned while fighting for their cause. Margaret Robinson served time in Holloway Prison. Dorothy Evans was taken to Tullamore Prison in County Offaly by train. While being transported, Dorothy Evans broke several windows on the train and threw out a postcard with a defiant suffragette message on to the platform which was picked up by the station master

Margaret Robinson is played here by Polly Wilson
