Two neighbours during a rent strike at their home in Hanbury Building, Poplar
Neighbours Mr Mix (left) and Mr Roach compare rent books at Hanbury Buildings, Poplar, 1939. Hanbury was a slum tenement block where the landlord had failed to carry out even basic repairs and maintenance. Consequently, the tenants formed an action group, embarked on a rent strike and took the landlord to court. They won their case but before anything could be done the block was hit by a World War Two German bomb
