Horse and cart during transport strike, Liverpool
A driver who did not need police protection -- a man with his horse and cart, and a dog for good measure. The Liverpool transport strike began with two of the seamens unions, resulting from a range of grievances, and spread to other transport workers, becoming national by the middle of June. By August railway workers were joining in, and a mass demonstration took place in Liverpool on 13 August, beginning peacefully but ending in fighting as a result of police violence. The city came to a complete halt on 15 August. However, negotiations were begun, and the railway workers returned to work on 21 August

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the Liverpool transport strike in August 1911, this powerful image captures the resilience and determination of one man as he navigates the city streets with his horse and cart, undeterred by the industrial unrest that had brought the city to a standstill. The strike, which began with two seamen's unions, quickly spread to other transport workers and eventually engulfed railway workers as well. By mid-August, the city was completely paralyzed, with trams and other forms of public transport at a standstill. Despite the tense political climate, this man, with his faithful harness-clad horse and loyal canine companion, continues on his journey undeterred by the chaos that surrounds him. The cobblestone streets, once bustling with activity, now lie silent and still, save for the occasional clatter of hooves and the distant sounds of protest and negotiation. The Liverpool transport strike, which lasted from mid-June to late August, was the result of a range of grievances, including wages, hours, and working conditions. The unrest was fueled by a growing sense of discontent among workers, who felt that their labor was being exploited by their bosses. Despite the violence and unrest that marked the final days of the strike, negotiations eventually began, and by August 21, the railway workers had returned to work. This image serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the labor movement was at the forefront of political and industrial discourse, and when the streets of Liverpool were a battleground for the rights and freedoms of working people.
