More about this scene
On 15 August 1819, Henry Hunt, a leading advocate for Parliamentary reform, stopped here on his way to address a meeting in Manchester. Macclesfield had already sent a petition to the Commons signed by over two-thirds of the male population. Some local men went with Hunt to Manchester, but there is no record of their being killed or injured in the ensuing Peterloo Massacre.
