Waterside Labour Allocation Bureau

DESCRIPTION

Reference numberLH002688DescriptionThis building was originally erected as a waiting shed for passengers and friends in 1906. In 1917 the wharf was barricaded off and under strict naval control until 24th December 1918. Due to industrial unrest, the barriers were left around the building ( by then the Labour Allocation Bureau). On the 4th May 1919, a crowd of angry waterside workers destroyed the barricades and damaged the building. The shed was demolished after 1924 with the reconstruction of wharf to concrete.Date1919Photograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
