Queue of children at a soup kitchen around the time of the General Strike, 1926

Sherbrook Road

Bestwood
England

The General Strike lasted nine days from 3 May to 12 May 1926. It is more likely that the 'soup kitchen' was not operating at that time, rather during the ongoing lockout which lasted through to November, though few kitchens are likely to have survived much after September.
