Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Black plaque inscription: Powis Gateway was built in the early 1830s by the Leslie family, using profits from slavery. The Leslies, the lairds of nearby Powis House, owned an estate in Jamaica on which they forced enslaved African people to work. After the 1833 Act for the Abolition of Slavery, the Leslies received government compensation which also helped fund the gateway. The formerly enslaved people received nothing for their years of unpaid labour and suffering. CITY OF ABERDEEN
