Battle of Cable Street
Thursday 4th November 2006
We meet at Shadwell Underground Station.11am. This is close to
Shadwell DLR.
Seventy years ago this month the Battle of Cable took place.
OCTOBER 4, 1936, remains a landmark in working class history –
the day when the East End stopped Mosley’s Blackshirts and dealt
British fascism a blow from which it never fully recovered. With
the same area once again targeted by fascists, the Battle of
Cable Street contains valuable lessons for today. We make our
way to St Georges Building which was originally the local town
hall. Here we stop to view the mural painted on its side walls
depicting the battle then we continue to the church of St
Georges in the East and Tobacco Dock then on to the dock area of
Shadwell Basin. Find out were hanging Judge Jeffries met his
end. During your walk you will here stories of mass murder and
Wapping myth's. At the end of the walk you can enter the first
railway tunnel in the world to be build under a river. It is
still being used today. (Exit Shadwell DLR turn left 50yds to
