Date	1908
Description	Police removing suffragettes chained to railings 1908
Details	Police officers removing Edith New and Olivia Smith from the railings of 10. Downing Street. The image is interestingly captioned, describing the actions of the suffragettes as a "raid" and clarifying that it was with "very little trouble" that the police were able to break the chains and arrest the two women. Ms New and Ms Smith chained themselves and shouted "votes for women" as a distraction while fellow suffragettes Flora Drummond and Mary Macarthur attempted to enter the cabinet meeting taking place at the time.
