Brighton and Hove was one of the first Women's Social and Political Union branches, founded in May 1907. By June 1908 they had a banner 'beautifully designed and embroidered by members with the arms of Brighton'. Parasol parades were a regular feature of the union's sales drives to increase its newspaper circulation in the summer months. Umbrellas were used in the rainy season.
