Greenock-Radical_War_memorial.jpg


Summary

Description
English: Monument to the Radical War unrest of 8 April 1820, when soldiers of the Port Glasgow Volunteers escorted five Radical prisoners to Greenock Jail, Bank Street, Greenock , then when stones and insults were hurled at them by the crowd of townsfolk, opened fire killing eight protesters, and wounding ten others.

The bronze sculpture by Angela Hunter of Innerleithen was unveiled on Saturday 26 September 2015. On the east side of Bank Street, stones inset into the retaining wall of the Well Park record the ages and names of those killed: feature created by Broughton-based landscape designer James Gordon

This view looks down Bank Street northwards to Cathcart Square: the (cream coloured) Dutch Gable building of 1755 is seen past the clasped hands, the building in the left foreground is the Mid Kirk of 1761. The Bridewell or jail, which opened in 1810, was sited immediately to the south of the Kirk, with an entrance onto Bank Street: it was demolished in 1886.

Possibly copyrighted in the U.S.

This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law. (Commons is hosted in the United States and as such, U.S. law is applicable.)
  • In the source country of the artwork or sculpture, taking photographs of such works permanently located in a public place does not generally infringe on their copyright, under a principle known as " freedom of panorama ".
  • In U.S. law, there is no freedom of panorama for artwork or sculptures , and under the choice-of-law principle lex loci protectionis , U.S. courts might apply U.S. freedom of panorama standards to this work, rather than the standards of the source country. However, in practice, it is unsettled whether and how this approach would be applied in real-world U.S. legal cases involving freedom of panorama elements.
The current policy on Commons is to accept photos of artwork and sculptures that are covered by freedom of panorama in their source country. This policy may change in the future, depending on the outcome of community discussions and new case law.
This is not a valid license tag on Commons; this file must be usable under freedom of panorama in its source country or it will be deleted.
