Description: | The London Docklands were a major hub of world trade in the early part of the 20th Century, with ships coming from all over the British Empire (which at the time covered a quarter of the Earth's land area). Following the victorious London Dock Strike of 1889, the Dockworkers long enjoyed the representation of strong Trade Unions. These Unions can be seen represented here by their banners on a march of dockers in the early decades of the century. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Unknown Copyright | Subjects: | work Power and Politics Transport | Temporal: | c1920 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
