Description: | Trafalgar Square was completed in 1845 and was named in honour of the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The Square has been a noted venue for political protests and demonstrations since the time of the Chartist Movement, soon after its completion. The protest in this photograph appears to be against increases in rent payable for housing. At the time of this demonstration, the majority of Londoners would have lived in rented accommodation rather than owning their own home. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Unknown Copyright | Subjects: | Power and Politics Home and Family | Temporal: | c1970 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
