The General Strike - an overturned motor-van

A motor-van overturned by Strike sympathisers in Blackfriars Road, London. Though largely peaceful, there were several violent incidents during the General Strike. 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
