We remember the Chartists aka People of No Property who sacrificed their lives for the cause of manhood suffrage, mown down by the Military in front of the Westgate Hotel on this day in 1839

Brave people and an important historical event in Welsh/British history. Helped to shape democracy as we know it now. Democracy is not perfect but far superior than any autocratic regime. |  | | |

There's a cave near Trefil on the mountainside called Chartists cave . It's where they stored and hid their weapons before the march to Newport . Alexander Cordell who wasn't from those parts wrote novels about the emerging industrial scene in the Eastern valleys at that time. "Rape of the fair country " is an excellent read if you are interested in those times. | | | |
