Standing in This Place challenges the 5% (less than 5% of statues in the UK represent women), with not one but two statues of women intertwined: one representing the women who worked in the textile mills in the Midlands and the other representing the women who were enslaved in the cotton fields of America and the Caribbean. It has been placed in Broad Marsh's Green Heart today, pop down to visit and see it for yourself. Snap a selfie and let us know if you see any of the hidden details on the statue!
On this day 193 years ago, three young men were hanged on the front steps of the Shire Hall.
George Beck (20), George Hearson (22), and John Armstrong (26) were found guilty on January 4th, 1832, for their part in the Reform Bill Riots.
The riots took place in October 1831, when the right to vote was denied to most men.
