Robert Owen Plaque Unveiled in Bloomsbury

Camden’s Labour mayor disappears behind the red flag for Robert Owen
The latest blue plaque to be unveiled in Bloomsbury was revealed today at a ceremony outside 4 Burton Place where ‘the father of the Co-Operative movement’ Robert Owen lived from 1832-1840. There were guests present from Wales (Owen was born in Newtown, Powys which honours his memory in a museum) and New Lanark in Scotland where one of his experiments in co-operation was launched. It was good to see representatives national and local from the co-operative movement and to note that the covering of the plaque was of the right colour!
