Abstract

Robert Poole teaches history at the University of Cumbria. He has worked at several other North West universities and is an accomplished broadcaster. His writings span a wide variety of variety of intriguing topics; from the Lancashire Witches in the 1600s, to the history of the first views of Earth from space (see www.earthrise.org.uk). Robert is now working on Manchester's 'Peterloo massacre' of 1819, a key event in the development of modern democracy. He is also writing a biography of the radical Samuel Bamford (1788-1872), who was involved with Peterloo. This work is connected with a project to make available online the Home Office Disturbances papers in the National Archives, and with the local effort to create a monument to Peterloo. Learn what happened in 1819, and why it should be commemorated.
