This badge is inspired by the women's suffrage movement and was made in 2026 from earthenware clay, decorated with underglaze and stains; it takes the form of a pine cone with a sash in white, purple, and green, the colours of the suffrage movement. The badge is symbolic of the lone pine tree that remains from the Annies Arboretum, demolished in the 1980s to make way for development, and references the tree planted by the well-known suffragist Rose Lamartine Yates of Wimbledon.
