Objects That Remain | Peterloo: Britain's Forgotten Massacre (Bonus)

Memories carved in wood and painted on china. Objects tell us a story of violence remembered and contested. Beyond the written record, Peterloo survives in the objects left behind. For this bonus episode, host Jen Baldwin is joined by Jenny Mabbott from Manchester’s People’s History Museum to explore how fascinating items in the museum’s Peterloo collection reveal the violence, memory, and meaning of the massacre. Through these physical traces, a different perspective emerges: one that captures not just what happened, but how people remembered it, and why.
