This memorial was designed in collaboration with the artist Jeremy Deller and was commissioned by Manchester City Council. The memorial commemorates the two-hundredth anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre, an important event in the history of political reform in the UK, where a crowd of sixty thousand people, gathered peacefully to protest about parliamentary representation, were charged by soldiers on horseback, injuring seven hundred and killing nineteen people. The event took place at St Peter’s Field in the centre of Manchester. The memorial is located in the square in front of Manchester Convention Centre, close to the site of the event.
