The Life of Pablo: Black History Month

October 11, 2022

Pablo FanqueThe life of circus owner William Darby, better known as Pablo Fanque, has been highlighted by Historic England to mark Black History Month in the UK. The historical significance of Darby’s life has been recognised with the addition of a blue plaque in Norwich, the city of his birth.
