EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1872: The Gas Stokers' Strike - A Dark Turn in Victorian London In the industrial heart of Victorian London, in the south-eastern districts, a political disturbance unfolded that would cast a long shadow over the city. The Gas Stokers, essential workers for the Chartered Company, went on strike, asserting their rights for better wages and working conditions. This illustration from the Illustrated London News captures the social scenes of the time, as people were plunged into darkness, forced to revert to candles and experience the harsh realities of life beyond the modern conveniences they had grown so reliant upon. The Gas Stokers, responsible for maintaining the gas lamps that lit the streets of London, had grown tired of their meager wages and arduous working conditions. Their collective action brought the city to a standstill, leaving the streets in darkness and the citizens in a state of uncertainty. The once-bustling thoroughfares were now eerily quiet, as people huddled in their homes, lit only by flickering candles. The illustration depicts the stark contrast between the modern world of gas lighting and the return to the past, with people struggling to adapt to the darkness and the challenges that came with it. The political disturbance caused by the Gas Stokers' strike was a reminder of the power of collective action and the fragility of the social order in Victorian Britain. This poignant image serves as a testament to the struggles and sacrifices made by the working class during the 1870s, as they fought for a better future for themselves and their communities.
