Blue Plaques to tell stories of working class experience
English Heritage will commemorate the Match Girls’ strike with a blue plaque later this year. The plaque will mark the place in Bow where around 1,400 women walked out of the Bryant and May match factory in 1888 in protest at the dismissal of three co-workers, low pay and dangerous working conditions. Working with white phosphorus, the employees were in danger of developing ‘Phossy jaw’, a disease that could cause catastrophic injuries, disfigurement and even death.
