North Shields: Stuart Barlow will give a talk about Robert Lowery – North Shields Forgotten Chartist Leader

Robert Lowery was a North Shields working man whose early life was a mixture of tragedy, hard work and crippling illness. He went on to become a leading Chartist and a speaker able to attract large crowds to fight for the Chartist cause. He spent almost half his life campaigning for the Charter and later on became a keen advocate of the temperance movement.
