This print captures a moment in history when the working class of Bermondsey came together in solidarity as members of the National Union of Railwaymen. The image showcases a group of railway workers proudly posing with their Workers of the World Unite banner, symbolizing their commitment to socialist ideals and unity among laborers worldwide.
The presence of marching drums in the photograph adds a sense of determination and strength, highlighting the resilience and camaraderie shared by these hardworking individuals. It is evident that these railwaymen were not just colleagues, but comrades fighting for better working conditions and fair treatment within the industry.
Taken around 1900, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a pivotal time in British history when trade unions played a crucial role in advocating for workers' rights. The Bermondsey branch's display of unity serves as a reminder of the power that can be achieved through collective action and solidarity.
