Horse and cart during transport strike, Liverpool

A driver who did not need police protection -- a man with his horse and cart, and a dog for good measure. The Liverpool transport strike began with two of the seamen's unions, resulting from a range of grievances, and spread to other transport workers, becoming national by the middle of June. By August railway workers were joining in, and a mass demonstration took place in Liverpool on 13 August, beginning peacefully but ending in fighting as a result of police violence. The city came to a complete halt on 15 August. However, negotiations were begun, and the railway workers returned to work on 21 August
