The body of the jug shows a map of the streets around St Peter's Field, with a numbered key identifying the sites associated with the Peterloo Massacre. An inscription above the map reads "A PLAN of the GROUND on which the REFORMERS met at MANCHESTER on MONDAY the 16 AUGUST 1819. And which proved so fatal to many."
ALT Heading: Peterloo in Rock, with a logo showing a heart pierced by a sabre, encircled by the words "Reformers of Peterloo". Polyp's drawing shows the Blanketeers, a group of protesters carrying blankets for their journey, who tried to march to London to present their grievances to the government. They are seen from behind, walking up the road, with blankets and bags tied on their backs, and one of them wearing a red Liberty cap; but soldiers on horseback, with sabres drawn, are riding towards them.

Text above: 'It started with a song about the Peterloo Massacre in 1818, the song grew, more songs in the same vein were written, they came together and became Peterloo in Rock. It was as if it was always meant to be.'
ALT Mark West, Allan Hudd and staffat the Britons Protection, on Great Bridgewater Street, have reason to celebrate, with the resolution of their dispute with Star Heineken. An agreement has been struck which will see the pub in the safe hands of the business partners for a further ten years, with the renewal of their business lease for the same term. Allan Hudd said it was a successful outcome that would see the future of the Britons Protection assured under the current management team. He is looking forward to the certainty of providing what they do best. Steve Ingham, pub preservation officer for Central Manchester CAMRA, said this means they will be able to offer a range of local, regional and national beers and a vast range of whiskies of their choosing, the underpinning principle of the campaign. Allan, with the support of CAMRA, submitted an application to the City Council and the pub is currently the only premises in the city centre with the status of Asset of Community Value.
