For nine days in 1926, the country ground to a halt as over four million workers downed tools in support of the miners.
Mapping the flashpoints from the 1926 General Strike in Bristol, this behind-the-scenes walk around the city centre delves into the hidden histories from the strike, the use of propaganda and how the state fought back.
A 2-hour walk from Kingsley Hall on Old Market Street via the centre ending at the St James Barton – Bear Pit….(and then to the Cube for a drink, samosas and some utopian talk)
Start point: Kingsley Hall, Old Market Street, Bristol BS2 OHP
