Place, Francis (1771–1854). The ‘radical tailor of Charing Cross’ was associated with virtually every reform movement from the
corresponding societies to
chartism. He rose from being a journeyman breeches‐maker into a prosperous shopkeeper and employer, from Jacobinism to respectability, and became a disciple of
Bentham and
Mill. His skill as a backroom organizer was demonstrated in the London Corresponding Society, the Westminster elections, the repeal of the Combination Acts, the 1832 Reform Bill agitation, and chartism.
