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.
