Yesterday's Witness: The Battle of Cable Street

on BBC Two England

On 4 October 1936 a part of East London became a battlefield. Nothing like it had been seen before. It was the day when the British Fascists attempted to march through the Jewish East End.
A quarter of a million Londoners mobilised to prevent them and as one of them says: 'From that day onwards Mosley never again ventured into the ghetto streets of East London.'
Taking part: Sir Oswald Mosley, Bill Fishman, Miss Edith Ramsay, Phil Piratin, Dr Hugh Faulkner
Commentary written by James Cameron
