STORIES FROM HORROR | The Battle of Cable Street

Cable Street is a historic street located in the East End of London, United Kingdom. It runs through the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and the City of London, connecting the edge of the City towards Limehouse. The historical significance of the street lies in the Battle of Cable Street in October 1936, a landmark confrontation in which local residents, trade unionists, and anti-fascist demonstrators successfully blocked a march by Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists. In addition, a massive, striking mural painted on the side of St George's Town Hall commemorates the historic anti-fascist battle and depicts key scenes from the event and the area's working-class history. Geographically, the street runs parallel to The Highway and is situated just north of the River Thames docks area.
