Blue Plaque for William Cuffay

William Cuffay, among the most iconic figures in Chartism, is to get a one of London’s famous commemorative Blue Plaques.


The plaque will be placed on 409 Strand, on the site of his former central London home; and Bill Morris has agreed to do the unveiling which is expected to occur towards the end of 2012.

The campaign to get the plaque has been masterminded by author and academic Martin Hoyles, whose book on Cuffay should be out soon.
