Grunwick Strike - Dudden Hill Road

Inscription

{On a placard held by a figure in the mural:}
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 lines.

A second mural is situated in Chapter Road opposite Dollis Hill Station.

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.

NW2, Dudden Hill Lane

The traffic here is grim - fast and polluting. We go to some of the nastiest places in London so you don't have to.  Which is a pity since this long mural repays close examination. This is one of two related memorials. The hostile environment is probably why the unveiling event took place at the nearby Chapter Road mural.
