We will be meeting in peace on Friday 16 August to remember those who died at Peterloo 205 years ago. We will read the names of the dead and lay wreaths in their memory at the Peterloo Memorial, in front of Manchester Central, at 6pm.

REMEMBER THE PLAN FOR A 26-STOREY TOWER ON STILTS NEXT TO THE 200-YR-OLD BRITON'S PROTECTION PUB? We *think* it's fizzled out (which doesn't mean no one else will try). The reply to our Freedom of Information request is mostly redacted! But the developers' emails end a year ago.
Artist's impression of the Apex Tower, a 26-storey tower block on stilts which would have dwarfed the familiar Briton's Protection pub and kept its popular beer garden in perpetual shadow. The architects said it would "enhance" the building, which dates back to the time of Peterloo.

After #Peterloo, the Prince Regent and loyalists praised the magistrates for their actions. Others tried to establish the abuses that occurred. This map from Nov 1819 shows the site of the massacre, including the Quaker Meeting House, which remains today. bit.ly/stpf22
