Chartists Ernest Jones and Thomas Cooper

I took this shot very recently in Bow Lane, Manchester, England:

'ERNEST JONES
1819-1869
CHARTIST LEADER AND
BARRISTER AT LAW
PRACTISED FROM
CHAMBERS HERE
1863-69'

A link to information on Ernest Jones is here.


This reminded me that I'd taken a blue plaque shot of another Chartist a few years before, at 11 Church Gate, Leicester:

'Leicester City Council
THOMAS COOPER
Chartist
1805-1892
Had a coffee shop at this address
in which he organised the
movement in Leicester'

And a link to information on Thomas Cooper is here.
