Falmouth and Slavery — An Evening Talk
Historian Chloe Phillips takes the stage at The Poly to examine a chapter of Falmouth's past that rarely surfaces in the town's popular history — its connections to the transatlantic slave trade. Drawing on historical research, the talk promises to be both informative and sobering, shedding light on how this corner of Cornwall was entangled in one of history's most troubling periods of commerce and human suffering. A good fit for anyone curious about local history, the evening runs from 6:00 pm on Wednesday 16 September at The Poly in Falmouth.
