The item chosen is a replica print of both sides of the 1890’s banner of the Northampton Branch of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF). These SDF prints are on show in the upstairs Green Room and can be viewed every Tuesday from 1pm to 2pm, and on the last Tuesday of the month from 6pm to 8pm.

For the duration of the ‘Beyond the 100’ exhibition, the 97 Charles Street Heritage Group have also put on display other items which illustrate the building’s 145 year history. Some of these items (eg photos of Clls and MPs) are on the wall and can be seen whenever the Lab is open. Others (such as the SDF’s Northampton Pioneer journals) will only be available for viewing on the Tuesday dates shown above.
