By Kieran Corcoran Activist: Sylvia Pankhurst, pictured in 1932, was a prominent suffragette The home of political activist and suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst has been transformed into a block of million-pound flats. The women's rights campaigner, whose mother Emmeline and sister Christabel were also prominent votes-for-women campaigners, moved to Vine Cottage  in Woodford Green, Essex in the 1920s. However, she quickly renamed the building Red Cottage in honour of her radical, left-wing politics. But the now-unrecognisable area has been transformed into a block of 14 luxury apartments, which are expected to sell for between £500,000 and £1million each. Miss Pankhurst lived in the home with her boyfriend Silvio Corio, an Italian anarchist who was fleeing the rise of fascism in Italy.
