Légende

Crowd outside the closed East India Dock Gates, Poplar, London, 1897. Men wait, locked out of the East India Docks, probably during a strike in which the dock workers demanded fair pay and conditions. The most famous docker's strike took place in 1889, in which the employers accepted defeat and granted the main demands. This paved the way for the trades union movement.
