EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the 1911 transport workers' strike, as a continuous line of London trams come to a standstill near the iconic Elephant and Castle. The political and industrial action, which began in August 1911, was instigated by the Transport Workers' Federation in response to wage cuts and longer working hours. The scene depicts double-decker trams, their hand-painted advertisements for whisky and other goods now silent, all heading in the direction of London Bridge. The trams, once a symbol of the city's modern transport system, now lie still, their progress halted by the determined actions of the striking men. The hand carts and carts in the foreground, along with the pedestrians on the street, add to the sense of disruption and chaos. The imposing buildings of Elephant and Castle loom in the background, a stark reminder of the urban landscape that continues to function around the stilled transport. This powerful image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in London's history, as the balance of power between workers and their employers was momentarily tipped in favor of the former.
