VENUE: Start at the Quaker Meeting House, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster
Lancaster was the fourth largest English port, after Bristol, London and Liverpool to engage in the Atlantic Save Trade.
This walk will focus on Lancaster Quakers’ involvement in Atlantic slavery (the trade in enslaved people and plantation slavery) and will also consider impacts on the city’s industrial development. It will be led by Alan Rice, who is Director of the Institute for Black Atlantic Research at Lancashire University and a Member of Lancaster Black History Group. Alan will take participants to key sites in the city and explain the history as he goes.
The Lancaster Slave Trade, Abolition and Fair Trade Trail is the work of many organisations at different times. Supporters and funders include: The Friends of Lancaster Maritime Museum, Lancaster Black History Group, The FIH Tree (Garstang), Global Link, University of Lancashire, CASEI, Lancaster University, Institute for Black Atlantic Research and Lancaster City Council.
