Newport rising Chartist leaders
People’s Charter
Westgate Hotel Newport
On the trail of one of my ancestors, #zephaniahwilliams one of 3 leaders of the #newportrising where in 1839 - on the site of this hotel - soldiers opened fire on the marchers and protesters. The last armed rebellion against authority in mainland UK. All in fight for democracy and workers rights.
