Description: | This letter was written to Tony Merrick during his imprisonment in Pentonville Jail in 1972. Tony Merrick was one of five Dockers jailed in July 1972 for defying anti-picketing legislation. The imprisonment of the trade union activists in Pentonville Prison triggered a National Dock strike. Fearing the economic repercussions of a prolonged strike the government was compelled to release the Pentonville 5 after just one week. This letter, dated 25 July 1972, is from a member of the public and offers support to Mr Merrick and his colleagues. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1972 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
