Battle of Lewes Road
The Battle of Lewes Road was a confrontation which took place in Brighton during the 1926 United Kingdom general strike.
== Background ==
The tensions which led to the general strike were exacerbated locally by the policies of the Brighton Corporation and the fears of members of the Middle Class Union. Their concerns, however, were misplaced: local socialists and unemployed people were not revolutionaries, and when the strike began on 4 May only 6000 workers, a small proportion of the town's workforce, came out. Of these, transport workers were seen to represent the greatest threat, and succeeded in stopping service on the town's external rail links and internal tramway.
On 8 May, a group of strikers marched to the Town Hall in response to the council considering the use of volunteer labour on the trams, but were turned away by police at the entrance.〔〔 The police were supported by special constables known as "Black and Tans",〔 who included "farmers, sportsmen, hunting men, and retired cavalry officers".
