Ross Civic Society – Slavery Connections of Herefordshire

Talk: Slavery Connections of Herefordshire – Rhys Griffith

Rhys Griffith from Herefordshire Archive & Records Centre (HARC) will give a sobering insight into Herefordshire’s involvement in the slave trade. It will look at the trade triangle, where goods were exported to Africa in return for Africans, who were transported to the new world plantations for labour, and goods from the New World was brought back to Britain, making those involved wealthy. We will also hear about the significant part Ross’ played in the abolition of slavery.

7:30pm at The Larruperz Centre (HR9 7QD)
