Around 200 men marched from Jarrow to London to petition the British government, requesting the re-establishment of industry in the town following the closure in 1934 of Palmer&#8217;s shipyard. Palmer&#8217;s had seen the  launching of more than 1,000 ships since 1852. In the 1920s, a combination of mismanagement and changed world trade conditions  brought a decline which led to the yard&#8217;s closure. When plans for its replacement by a modern steelworks plant were thwarted,  the lack of any prospect of large-scale employment in the town  led the borough council to organise the march on London to present their case to the government. The petition was received by the House of Commons but not debated, and the march produced few immediate results. The Jarrovians went home believing that they had failed. Nevertheless, in subsequent years the Jarrow March became recognised by historians as a defining event of the 1930s and helped to   prepare  the way for widespread  social reform after the Second World War.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wikipedia article of the day for October 5, 2016 is Jarrow March.
