Bristol Radical History Group are currently raising money to pay for a new plaque on the Seven Stars Pub in Redcliffe. The Seven Stars is a landmark in the abolition of slavery and where Thomas Clarkson began his research into the conditions on transatlantic slave ships. The fund raising  has reached a point where Mike Baker has been able to start work on the mould. Alex Milne went down to Mike’s workshop and interviewed Mike as he worked.

Find out more about the Seven Stars Plaque.
