Erection date: 2017
This mural commemorates the 40th anniversary of the strike at the Grunwick factories on Chapter Road and Cobbold Road. The dispute began in August 1976 and ended in July 1978.
The workers who were mainly Asian women, received an unprecedented level of support from the Labour movement and the local community in the face of extreme police violence against strikers and their supporters on the picket line.
A second mural is situated on the bridge at Dudden Hill Lane.
The murals were the initiative of Grunwick 40 and were designed by the community in collaboration with artist Anna Ferrie.
Funded by generous donations from the public, GMB Union and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
