The Battle of Cable Street mural London E1

Hundreds of thousands of anti-fascists took to the streets of London's East End on Sunday October 4th 1936 to stop Sir Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts marching through a prodominently Jewish part of London. The Communist Party played a major part in the mobilisation along with the Independent Labour Party and the Jewish Ex-Servicemen's Association.

The mural was started in 1976 and finally completed in 1993. The work, by a number of local artists, was attacked by vandals several times while it was being painted. The design was based on original photographs of the battle and the buildings of the day. Some of the people who took part in the battle are depicted in the mural along with others who symbolise the people of the East End today.

I thought it looked like a bunch of communists! Perhaps Kowalski is depicted in it?  :twoface:

If that's an easy one, Lord knows what your hard one's like!    :D

However, I'll have an even wilder guess at Rhyddlan Castle.    $walesflag$

Sorry Mike, but I think you knew that you were slightly off track!  :D

Hollins, not right this time, but don't those cakes look delightful?   ;D
