| description | "In 1889, Samuel Winkworth Silver's rubber and electrical factory was the site of a massive worker revolt that upended the London industrial district which bore his name: Silvertown. The workers, long ignored by traditional craft unions, aligned themselves with the socialist-led 'New Unionism' movement. They shut down Silvertown and, in the process, helped to launch a more radical, modern labour movement. With a foreword by John Callow and an introductory comment by John Marriott." |
