message: I have heard that this incident was the trigger for the repeal of a medieval law on compensation in which the family of a victim would receive the object that killed him or her (a bull, dog, or in this case a steam engine!), but I can find no reference to this.--Jack Upland (talk) 21:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the statue supposed to be a likeness of Huskisson, or is it (as the article points out), just "a Roman in a toga"? It doesn't look much like him, and in fact the contrast between the figure on the plinth and the portrait at the top of the article is comical, but then again the sculptor might have been using artistic licence, and it does seem odd that it's just a random Roman. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

For reference, I've asked here to see if it is possible to get a picture of the Eartham church eulogy. Carcharoth (talk) 00:35, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And the result was this picture. I may also add it directly to the article, but even if it doesn't fit there quite yet it should be of interest and is accessible through the Commons link in the article. Carcharoth (talk) 06:07, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Thee has been a citation request for the claim that Huskisson proposed the revised Consolidated Slave Law. Two years on, and no citation is forthcoming, and I can find no proof of Huskisson's involvement. In C.R.Fay's Huskisson and His Age, Huskisson worked on taxation measures, as was his speciality in government. It concerns me, as this fact has been skewed to try and prove a link between Huskisson and slavery, to excuse vandalism of a statue of him, and similarities are being drawn to Edward Colston of Bristol, and Huskisson's grave has also been vandalised. If there is evidence to support this claim, then so be it, but with no citation, how long is an unsupported statement allowed to stay up?  Can it be deleted? LMRT (talk) 02:17, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

message: There is a memorial at the site of the fatal accident by the railway, which is still the main railway line between Manchester and Liverpool. It's in a rather odd place, as only train drivers can really appreciate it!
