1/15 'Peterloo & the Archaeology of Protest in C19 Manchester': 2019 was the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre, a peaceful protest that descended into bloodshed. What can archaeology tell us about the political & industrial landscape of the campaigners & Mcr? #PMAC20 Part of a contemporary drawing of the Peterloo Massacre 2/15 16 August 1819 c. 60,000 people met on St Peter’s Fields Mcr to protest peacefully for Parliamentary reform. When local yeomanry tried to arrest orator Henry Hunt the crowd panicked & the 15th King’s Hussars were called to restore order leaving 15 dead & 700 injured #PMAC20
