Richard Oastler

This is a statue of Richard Oastler, who was a top bloke given his championing of children's rights in the 1800's, the statue is situated just around the corner from my flat in Bradford.

Richard Oastler (20 December 1789 - 22 August 1861) was an English labour reformer, "Tory radical", and abolitionist.

He fought for the rights of working children in the Factory Act of 1847, and was also a prominent leader of the Factory reform and anti-Poor Law movement.
