The statue of Quaker Joseph Sturge (1793-1859) in Birmingham is included in the newly launched City Centre Peace Trail. The trail is one of a number of Peace Trails being established in British cities. The public monument of Joseph Sturge, which was unveiled just three years after his death in 1862, is incorporated into a walk that visits other places and monuments that celebrate individuals and institutions linked with peace in the city.
