@theipaper WE Gladstone was never "Lord" Gladstone, was nicknamed "The Great Commoner" and was an MP until 1895. @jamesrbuk

The website of the terrific British Association for Local History @BALHNews is a fitting new home for the 11 editions of @200Magazine which strove to report the news from 1822 and 1823 in every part of the UK and Ireland. Check out the archive at balh.org.uk/200-magazine

@200Magazine reported famine in Ireland, wars in Europe, the beginnings of the Stockton & Darlington Railway & campaigns against slavery & for Catholic political rights in Ireland. Find the archive of its 11 editions at balh.org.uk/200-magazine thanks to @BALHNews

New on the website of @BALHNews , the 11 editions of @200Magazine reported what was happening two centuries ago in 1822 and 1823 when George IV, the Duke of Wellington, Beethoven, Shelley, Turner, Telford and Madame Tussaud were among the news-makers. balh.org.uk/200-magazine

@200Magazine ran from June 2022 to May 2023, reporting the news from two centuries ago but in the style of today. Now its archive of 11 editions has a new home, the website of the British Association for Local History @BALHNews at balh.org.uk/200-magazine

#OTD in 1819 the Peterloo Massacre took place near Manchester, and in response to it P.B. Shelley wrote The Masque of Anarchy: Rise like lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number Shake your chains to Earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you — Ye are many — they are few

The Peterloo Massacre of peaceful pro-democracy demonstrators happened on this day 204 years ago. The dead are being mourned in Manchester today. This was how @Live1819 'live tweeted' the day's tragic events on the bicentenary in 2019. twitter.com/i/events/11623…

May's new edition of @200Magazine is out now, but will sadly be the last. (Not enough readers, too costly and time-consuming!) Catch all 11 editions at 200livinghistory.info until August. We're looking for a long-term home for them after then.

Big names of the 1820s are all there in May's new edition of @200Magazine which reports the news from then in the language of 2023. There's Beethoven, Lord Byron, George IV, Liszt, Walter Scott's new book, and rail pioneer George Stephenson for starters at 200livinghistory.info

From Ireland in the May 1823 edition of @200Magazine Daniel O'Connell founds a new group to fight for Catholic emancipation, and Robert Owen's plans for new communities to tackle poverty & lack of jobs are subversive says the church. It's at 200livinghistory.info @newlanarkwhs

May's edition of @200Magazine reports the news from this month in 1823, including a big move for the planned Stockton & Darlington Railway, a riot in Stirling, and from Brighton, the latest news about King George's gout. It's at 200livinghistory.info @fsdr1825 @BrightonMuseums

May's edition of @200Magazine (reporting the news from 1823) is now online at 200livinghistory.info but will be the last. It's costing too much in ££ and time & just not enough readers - but thanks if you were or are among them. All 11 editions stay online to August at least.

May's new edition of @200Magazine is now online at 200livinghistory.info, with the foreign secretary accused of "monstrous truckling and tergiversation" and Beethoven bestowing (maybe) his "weihekuss" on Franz Liszt, aged 11. We explain what that meant & shine a light on 1823.

There's big news from Westminster in the new May edition of @200Magazine reporting the news from 1823. A duel between the foreign secretary and a top Whig is just averted, MPs vote against reforming themselves, and there's a slavery stitch-up. Find it at 200livinghistory.info
