Below is a photo of the plaque in Mike Baker’s workshop.

A day of festivities has been planned at the Seven Stars for Friday 1st May 2009 with the plaque being unveiled at 12:30pm and a ‘wet the plaques head’ party in the evening.

However, the plaque has not quite been paid for yet and funraising continues. If you would like to make a donation please email brh@brh.org.uk.

***Please note that the plaque is now fully paid for.

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.
