✿ Free Speech Carries With It Some Freedom To Listen. ✿ Derby's Market Place has been around since the 12th century and is mainly a venue for markets, stalls and other buying and selling activities. By 1995, a fountain was added to the Market Place, designed by William Pye, unique and original, with the concept of exchange and interaction. Featuring an observation deck and waterfall, it is very clever and therefore especially popular with children. Derby Speakers Corner was established in October 2012 and is located on Market Place to encourage free speech. Soon, in September 2013, new artwork was added to the rear of the waterfall, a series of facial comics of real people with QR Codes, mainly local citizens. The peculiar fountain actually goes against the expectations of the citizens of the era - traditional and elegant fountains, like freedom of speech, take courage and time to go from being different to being accepted. If you go through Derby Speakers Corner, it is recommended to use your mobile phone to scan the QR Code under each facial comic, which will be connected to a short video - the person's self-report, even talk about his interests. It seems boring but the meaning is far-reaching - speech, freedom, civilianization, popularization and so on.
