Peterloo Memorial
The Peterloo Memorial is a memorial in Manchester, England, commemorating the Peterloo Massacre. Designs for the memorial by the artist Jeremy Deller were unveiled in November 2018. It is sited close to the site of the massacre and was unveiled on 14 August 2019. It comprises a series of concentric circular stone steps engraved with the names of the 18 victims and the places the marchers had come from, rising to at the centre. The lack of disabled access to the monument has been criticised.
The Peterloo Memorial Campaign Group had been lobbying for a fitting memorial to The Peterloo Massacre for over ten years.
