Guardian revisits 1936 Battle of Cable Street
Original: Archive, 1936: Fascist march on Cable Street stopped after disorderly scenes
The Guardian has republished its archive report from 5 October 1936, when a fascist procession led by Sir Oswald Mosley through London's Jewish East End was blocked. Around 84 people were arrested and many injured as tens of thousands of demonstrators stopped the march in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street, a landmark moment of anti-fascist resistance in Britain.
Why now: The archive report is being resurfaced amid renewed public interest in anti-fascist history and street protests.
