Stroud General Strike Exhibition

Hello there, This is for anyone who has read the General Strike 100 May newsletter and is thinking of visiting the Radical Stroud exhibition. The exhibition (some of it anyway) is now on at the famous and enchanting pub, The Prince Albert. If you fancy a visit, I guarantee you won’t regret it. Have a scroll around this  website and you will also see a guise for walking around some of the key sites in Stroud associated with the General Strike with a few explanatory words for historical context. Hope to see you.
