What is recorded here

Pedestal of the former statue of Edward Colston (pulled down during Black Lives Matter protests on 7 June 2020) is shown as a memorial on the public map of City of Bristol. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

The pedestal marks the site of a statue of Edward Colston, a 17th-century Bristol merchant and slave trader, which was removed during Black Lives Matter protests on 7 June 2020 due to his historical links to the transatlantic slave trade. The event sparked national and international debate about historical memory, colonialism, and racial justice in the UK.
