202 years after Tom Palin was hung, #Cinderloo finally has a name plate to recognise the lasting legacy of the people who fought for social justice 2 centuries ago
Thanks to @IronbridgeGMT for hosting @cinderloo1821 exhibition in 2021/22. Here is brilliant short film 'Shadows in the dust" using pieces from the exhibition to re-tell the story

1/- Cinderloo - in 1821 - 18months after Peterloo in Manchester England miners in Shropshire struck and were also attached by the yeomanry. Lots of local activists and amateur historians worked for the 200th anniversary but it was wrecked by lockdown.

Brilliant tribute to Malcolm Peel talking and teaching about the subject he knew best - mining, miners and and its importance to our area. Thank you at @HeritageMartinP@telfordlive@TelfordMemories
Deeply saddened by news of Malcolm Peel’s passing. Malcolm was a hugely significant part of success of #HeritageSchools around T&W & West Mids. One of our esteemed Granville Boys, Malcolm visited 20+ schools, speaking to 1000+ pupils, exploring #Shropshire#coalmining#heritage.
We are saddened to hear that Malcolm Peel has died at home this week aged 79.
Malcolm provided much of the narrative to the Cinderloo story with his family history research, local geographic knowledge and understanding of mining and miners helping to piece together the story
Good to meet and greet Peter Jackson of @cinderloo1821 at Tolpuddle Old Chapel this week. Enjoy his blog post - ' A postcard from George Loveless to Tom Palin'. George was one of the Dorsetshire Labourers and founding Trustee of Tolpuddle Old Chapel in 1818
