The General Strike 1926
Disturbance in the New Kent Road in South London during the General Strike, showing a police car arriving on the scene and the policemen with drawn batons dispersing the crowd. In support of a strike by coal miners over the issue of threatened wage cuts, the Trades Union Congress called a General Strike in early May 1926. The strike only involved certain key industrial sectors (docks, electricity, gas, railways) but, in the face of well-organised government emergency measures and lack of real public support, it collapsed after nine days
