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.

Bristol Radical History Group are helping to raise money for a new cast aluminum plaque for the front of The seven Stars. The pub has a unique place in world history because it was there that Clarkson began his research that would eventually lead to the abolition of the British slave trade, and late slavery itself. Look out for plaque fundraisers at The Seven Stars and the BRHG pamphlet by Mark Steeds that is coming out at the beginning of May.
