Shirley Bliss and the Gloucester Strike Bulletin

Second talk of the day

The second talk of the day will take place at 14:00 on Saturday 9th May. It will be delivered by Nigel Costly.

Gloucester was rare in having a newspaper published to tell the strikers side of the story. The Bulletin’s publication was due to Edmund Shirley Bliss who had been victimized after a previous strike. With no work he established a co-operative printers sympathetic to the labour movement. Gloucester’s Strike Bulletin will go online as it was published 100 years ago.

Booking is essential for the talk. Please book your place on this webpage.
