Peterloo
Hi all,
Cheetham and Crumpsall heritage Society are organising a walk into town along the Peterloo protestors route.
Martin Gittins is organising it. He has a small group going form Prestwich and would like some from Whitefield and Bury.
The walk is takimg place on Sunday 14th August.
Anyone interested should email him at …
We know people from Prestwich and Whitefield took part in the Peterloo events because a weaver from Whitefield was among the dead that day. Also John Horsefield the botanist was present and had to flee when the Yeomanry charged.
