There was a Carl Chinn article today about Joseph Sturge.

About how he fought for the rights for slaves.

Fantastic pics - Statrues that look like statues - and a well deserved one in this case.

Thanks Brian.

The Chinn article mentions that Carl Chinn hopes that links are established between Birmingham and both Sturge Town and the Parish of St Ann in Jamaica. Especially since the Olympic Jamaican team will be based here next year.

One of the first Birmingham statues I took pics of a couple of years ago.

One of the photos in Chinn's article shows the old Lloyds Bank and Clocktower
