Picture
​Information on John Collins was difficult to find.  There is little about him in the local or national archives, and many hours of research often left me empty-handed or up against a brick wall.

​What I did find frequently came in snippets here and there, requiring a great deal of piecing together.  It took over two years' research to bring together the information presented here, and I am sure there is much more to discover about John Collins the Birmingham radical and Chartist leader.  

Consequently, this project as a work in progress and the website is a place for sharing information about this amazing man .
