The Peaky Blinders bring to life the historic Battle of Stockton that took place in Stockton On Tees on September 10th 1933. Each year the Battle of Stockton Campaign hold a weekend event of speakers, music, dramatisation, and comedy to commemorate this important part of anti-fascism history.
Laura Pidcock took part in a brilliant event commemorating the 'Battle of Stockton', when - in September 1933 - the people of Stockton chased Oswald Moseley's blackshirts out of town, pre-dating the better known Battle of Cable Street. Especially at this time, it's so important for us to understand the history of fascism in this country and how we defeated it, in workplaces, in communities and on the streets of Britain.
