- **Event Description**: As Britain teetered on the brink of revolution, discover the radical Wandsworth Road &amp; Battersea heartland of the1926  General StrikeAbout this EventSlicing across south London following the route of the 77 bus, this fabulous Nine Elms to Clapham Junction Walk along Wandsworth Road and Lavender Hill covers an absorbing area seeped in social and industrial history. An area that one hundred years ago was at the centre of a period of unrest which for a brief moment threatened to change the course of a troubled and divided country. From 4-12 May 1926 almost two million workers came out in support of the miners. 'The General Strike' ended in defeat but it was a unique week when working people came together in strength and solidarity.From the riot of skyscapers at Nine Elms, within touching distance of the Houses of Parliament, we follow Wandsworth Road through the low lying lands that were once market gardens, the bread basket of London. As it shadows the course of the 'lost river' Heathwall and rises above key ground-breaking housing estates, homes for its population of railway workers, Irish migrants and people from the Commonwealth who helped rebuild its bombed-out communities. Artists, builders, architects and activists... we reflect on the personalities like Shapurji Saklatvala, Charlotte Despard, Harry Wicks .John Archer and Clive and Nora Branson who emerged from this hot-bed of radical politics.It features some extraordinary housing, sprawling estates, pocket parks and characterful buildings, not least the astonishing 'House of Carvings' at No575. There's a small factory that looks like a 1930's wireless, Cantilever Court with its student lecture hall hanging over the pavement, a procession of sadly-lamented old pubs that could tell a tale or two. So much bombing and WW2 devastation, but the spirit of Brian Barnes, the Bransons, Frank Kitz and Smiley Culture endures, not to mention that of the Battersea Poltergeist ...There is so much to absorb and learn but thanks to the monumental efforts of plaque dynamo Jeanne Rathbone whose work highlighting 'Inspiring Women of Battersea' a light is being shone on largely unknown history. This Walk also pays tribute to Graham Gower and Sean Creighton, both of whom sadly died recently but whose research lives on. There's also a great book on the Heathwall by Jon Newman, where he describes the course of the river as 'running like a dirty finger through areas that have struggled with their image'.Geoff Simmons runs a community history project in south west London called Summerstown182 alongside his job as a graphic designer. This involves Guided Walks and Talks, working with schools and putting up plaques. Over the last ten years a trail of these have emerged along the Wandle Valley, shining a light on some of the lesser-known history in this area.
