They had progressed to St Peter’s Field on the southern edge of the town from the city’s working-class districts and the surrounding textile weaving regions, including Rochdale, Oldham and Stockport. Monday was the traditional day off for handloom weavers and other artisan workers, and the marchers wore their best clothes and symbols to create a festive atmosphere. Samuel Bamford, leading the contingent from the village of Middleton, described the start of their procession: Twelve of the most decent-looking youths … were placed at the front, each with a branch of laurel held in his hand, as a token of peace; then the colours [banners]: a blue one of silk, with inscriptions in golden letters, ‘Unity and Strength’, ‘Liberty and Fraternity’; a green one of silk, with golden letters, ‘Parliaments Annual’, ‘Suffrage Universal’. https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/memories-massacre 2/14 15/10/2019 Memories of a Massacre | History Today The main speaker, Henry ‘Orator’ Hunt, had travelled 200 miles north from London.

  • The Multiple Geographies of Peterloo and Its Impact in Britain
    The Multiple Geographies of Peterloo and Its Impact in Britain KATRINA NAVICKAS, UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE Abstract The Peterloo Massacre was more than just a Manchester event. The attendees, on whom Manchester industry depended, came from a large spread of the wider textile regions. The large demonstrations that followed in the autumn of 1819, protesting against the actions of the authorities, were pan-regional and national. The reaction to Peterloo established the massacre as rmly part of the radical canon of martyrdom in the story of popular protest for democracy. This article argues for the signicance of Peterloo in fostering a sense of regional and northern identities in England. Demonstrators expressed an alternative patriotism to the anti-radical loyalism as dened by the authorities and other opponents of mass collective action. Keywords: Peterloo; Manchester; protest; radicalism; regional identity The Peterloo Massacre and its aermath in the political history of nineteenth-century Britain has le historians with a wealth of textual and visual evidence. Newspaper reports, printed accounts of the trials of the radical leaders and autobiographical recollections such as those of Samuel Bamford, and vivid caricatures drawn by George Cruikshank have formed the basis of scholarly and public analysis of the causes and impact of the events of 16 August 1819. 1 More recent interest in the cultural history of popular politics in this period has also drawn from the wealth of printed material, including radical poetry and the satire of William Hone. 2 In terms of its spatial context, the Peterloo Massacre is indelibly associated with the specic place in which it occurred: St Peter’s Fields on the southern edge of the rapidly expanding centre of industrial Manchester.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Peterloo The hustings remained, with a few broken and hewed flag staves erect, and a torn and gashed banner or two dropping; whilst over the whole field, were strewn caps, bonnets, hats, shawls, and shoes, and other parts of male and female dress; trampled, torn and bloody. The yeomanry had 1 To Henry Hunt, Esq. as chairman of the meeting assembled on St. Peter’s Field, Manchester on the 16th of August, 1819. Anon. 2 Ballads and songs of Peterloo dismounted, – some were easing their horses’ girths, other adjusting their accoutrements; and some were wiping their sabres. Several mounds of human beings still remained where they had fallen, crushed down and smothered. Some of these were still groaning, – others with staring eyes, were gasping for breath, and others would never breathe more. All was silent save those low sounds, and the occasional snorting and pawing of steeds.1 This was the scene described by the poet and radical, Samuel Bamford, at St Peter’s Field in Manchester at 2.00pm on 16 August 1819, barely twenty minutes after Henry Hunt had stood on the hustings to address a peaceful crowd on a hot summer’s day.2 These twenty minutes resulted in one of the most significant events in modern British history, in which an estimated 18 people were killed and more than 650 injured by the combined efforts of the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry Cavalry (MYC) and the Fifteenth Hussars.3 Samuel Bamford’s harrowing eye- witness account of what he saw that day remains a powerful testimony to the sanctioned brutality of a repressive regime intent on destroying those who sought greater political freedom.

  • Rochdale Retrospect
    Chapter Six TOWARDS A MUNICIPAL BOROUGH : 1800-1856 A POET SELLS THE MANOR . EORGE GORDON BYRON, sixth Baron Byron of Rochdale, was the last of his family to be Lord of the Rochdale Manor. ; It is well known that he spent much of his time abroad ; in 1810, G aged 22, he swam the Hellespont, in 1822 he attended at Rome the funeral of the drowned Shelley ; it was in the same year, from Genoa, that Byron wrote to James Dearden regarding the thirty-year-old lawsuit over the Rochdale manorial rights and coal mines : " Sir, You and I have now been eighteen years at law with various success . Of the original occasion of this suit I have no great knowledge, since I inherited it and was a child when it began, and for ought I know may arrive at second childhood before it terminates ." He continues, "a mode might be found of combining . the adjustment of our lawsuit and the sale of the remainder of the manor . ", having already mentioned his thoughts of settling permanently in Italy or elsewhere, but, in fact, he had inherited encumbered estates and his own extravagances led him into further debts . In another letter, once in the possession of Mr . A. 3 . Law, he wrote " If we must sell, sell Rochdale ." In 1823 the Manor was sold to James Dear- den, whose house " The Orchard," north of the river and almost opposite that older house " The Wood," became known as " The Manor House ." It would be pleasant to think that Byron, as had been reported, actually stood at the top of the Church Steps and said " Fair breaks the morn o'er the distant hills," but it is difficult enough to establish that he ever came to Rochdale.

Protests and de- mands for such a program had been common throughout the period of hardship, poverty and high unemployment in Eng- land that followed demobilization at the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. Meetings with attendances in the thousands or even the tens of thousands were called at Spa Fields in London in 1816 and in Manchester in 1817 amid talk of attempts to overthrow the government and imprison or even kill the king, even among the organizers of the meetings.1 In all cases the authorities had sought to disperse the crowds, and indeed no meaningful revolutionary action actually took place.

Author’s final corrected copy. The radical and writer Samuel Bamford of Middleton (1788-1872) is best known for his two-part autobiography, Passages in the Life of a Radical (1839-41), with its superb account of the 1819 Peterloo Massacre, and Early Days (1848). But an autobiographer also needs a full life, and Bamford was also a journalist, a poet, a diarist of distinction, and one of the longest-lived and best- documented working men of his age.
