EDITORS COMMENTS
Great Railway Strike: A Queue of People Waiting for Trams on Blackfriars Bridge, London (1919) This evocative photograph captures the mood of uncertainty and hardship during the Great Railway Strike of 1919. The industrial action, which took place from May 31 to June 12, brought the British railway system to a standstill, causing widespread disruption and anxiety for commuters and businesses alike. In this image, a long queue of people can be seen waiting patiently for trams to cross Blackfriars Bridge in London. The bridge, with its iconic railway arches and the Thames in the background, adds to the sense of anticipation and expectation. The determined expressions on the faces of the men, women, and children in the queue suggest that they are prepared to endure the wait, despite the inconvenience and potential hardships that lie ahead. The Great Railway Strike was a significant event in British industrial history, marking the end of the post-war period and the beginning of a new era of labor relations. It highlighted the growing tension between workers and employers, and the need for greater social and economic reforms. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during times of adversity, and the importance of solidarity and unity in the face of challenges. This photograph is part of The John Barrett Collection, held at Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a valuable historical document that sheds light on an important moment in British history. It offers a unique perspective on the impact of industrial action on everyday life and the human spirit, and is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve the essence of history.
