The Cable Street mural was painted to celebrate the victory against fascism and the Blackshirts on 4th October 1936.

This became known as the Battle of Cable Street. A march  by Sir Oswald Moseley's fascist supporters was opposed

by many groups and rioting broke out, the worst concentrated on Cable Street. The distrubances led Parliament to pass

the Public Order Act 1936, which empowered police to ban demonstrations

The mural was planned in 1979 and finally finished in 1993.
