Peterloo Memorial, Historic site at Manchester Central Convention Complex, United Kingdom.
The Peterloo Memorial consists of eleven concentric circles made from British stone, measuring 1.8 meters in height and 11.6 meters in width.
The memorial marks where 18 people died and hundreds were injured during a cavalry charge into a crowd of 60,000 peaceful demonstrators on August 16, 1819.
The monument includes inscriptions detailing the names of victims, their origins, and locations of other historical massacres across concentric steps.
Located near Manchester Central Convention Complex, the memorial currently lacks wheelchair accessibility due to its stepped circular design.
Different stones from former British Empire territories form the memorial, including Broughton Moor slate, Welsh Cwt-y-Bugail slate, and Scottish dolerite.
