News International Wapping Dispute

From 9 January, the News International Wapping Dispute exhibition will be on display again, this time at the St Bride Institute, Bride Lane, just off Fleet Street in central London. It is an historic location for all of us from the Fleet Street era of national newspapers and the print and media industry. And not just for proximity to Fleet Street: countless chapel (workplace union branch) meetings were held there – starting disputes and ending them, setting up campaigns and declaring solidarity with other workers in struggle.

On 20 January, the dispute will be the subject of a discussion at the Institute, starting at 7pm and led by Greg Neale and Nicholas Jones. Tickets from £5 are available from Eventbrite.

In addition to the exhibition, the print workshop  and the library which are entirely devoted to the history of printing and allied crafts are also well worth seeing.

The leaflet is shown below, giving details of opening times.  Please note that the exhibition is open at weekends. Individual and group visits during mid- week (Tuesday-Thursday) are available by appointment only. Please let others know.  Contact us on info@wapping-dispute.org.uk or 0783 167 6587.
