Being the first ever photographic book on Speakers\u2019 Corner published in the UK, Wolmuth\u2019s unique collection of previously unpublished images span back over thirty-five years.<\/p>\n<p>Regarded worldwide as the home of free speech, Speakers\u2019 Corner witnessed a wide range of topical debate, from serious talks on religion and anti-religion to nonsensical speeches on..well.. nonsense. \u201cWhen I first visited Speakers\u2019 Corner in 1977 it seemed just as George Orwell had described it in 1945- the resort of preachers, eccentrics and \u2018a large variety of plain lunatics\u2019. On this world-famous patch of concrete and grass, a great number of speakers were standing on bespoke platforms, ladders, or upturned milk crates, shouting across each other to attract the attention of a sizeable motley crowd of onlookers. Hecklers shouted back. -The cacophony was bewildering. But I soon came to see that something unusual was happening in this north-eastern corner of London\u2019s Hyde Park: genuine, unmediated public debate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>~Extract from \u2018Speakers\u2019 Corner, Debate, Democracy and Disturbing the Peace\u2019, Philip Wolmuth<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/speakerscorner1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22065\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/speakerscorner1.jpg?resize=580%2C299\" alt=\"speakerscorner1\" width=\"580\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/speakerscorner1.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/speakerscorner1.jpg?resize=300%2C154&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/speakerscorner1.jpg?resize=600%2C309&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/speakerscorner1.jpg?resize=680%2C350&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speakers\u2019 Corner has also bared witness to the stark decline in the number of speakers and size of the crowds, particularly over the period covered in Wolmuth\u2019s book (1977-2014).
