Inscription description
plaque: DERBY SPEAKERS CORNER / “The happy contagion of Liberty” / Erasmus Darwin / Those who enter this space may exercise their / democratic right of free speech and expression, but / should do so responsibly and with adherence to the law. / Remember, many have sacrificed much to protect / this human right. If we cannot speak and act freely / in a democracy then what hope is there for those who / live under tyranny?
