On the 13th of August 1839 this was reported in a Manchester newspaper:
A large mob of Chartists, some thousands in number, came along the road from Heywood.
Accordingly the military drove them back to Heywood.
To find out more about Chartists go to the ' Discover ' part of the site and then 'Chartists '.
I wonder what happened in Heywood ?
ReplyDeletePerhaps they moved on to Bury!
