Not an easy find. A lovely little nook (or is it a cranny) hides this cache low down. With a perfectly sized stick-o-flage covering it. Good luck! A cache to celebrate equal suffrage for all in this centenary year of women gaining right to vote. This cache is close to statue of Earl of Derby. This was attacked by Preston's own suffragette, Edith Rigby. She lived close by in Winkley Square. To support the campaign for women's right to vote, Edith vandalised the statue with tar and feathers. The stains from this are are still clearly visible. Edith was a firm believer in direct action and as well her alleged involvement in the daubing of the statue, she said to have planted a pipe bomb in the Liverpool Corn Exchange on July 5 1913 and two days later setting fire to Lord Leverhulme’s bungalow at Rivington Pike. The wife and of a doctor, Edith was criticised by her neighbours for treating the servants with civility and after daubing the statue with tar and a ‘Votes for Women’ poster, she escaped the law by dressing in male clothing and riding off on a bicycle. You can also see a blue plaque dedicated to her 28 Winckley Square, Preston. Have fun looking for this cache. And enjoy the view too! No need to go into the flowerbeds or the shrubbery.
