British Library

Mrs. Browell has brought this website to my attention. Looks promising. You get to see the actual Great Reform Act. Explore the site here.

  1. This is good. The section of historical sources containing the GRA also contains stuff on Chartists like the charter and thier newspapers. There's also a list of people killed at St Peter's Fields. Thanks for pointing this site out. I now know that Martha Partington of Eccles was thrown into a cellar in the Peterloo massacre and was "killed on the spot". Lovely.

  2. Good to know Stuart. I suspect you may be a natural historian. A gossip often is! Keep up the research.
