Caption: This historic print captures the intensity of anti-German riots that erupted in Poplar, London during World War I (1914-1918). The image showcases a moment of preparation and protection as police officers are seen walking through the streets carrying wire netting in wooden frames to safeguard shop windows from potential damage. The riot, fueled by heightened tensions and patriotic fervor during wartime, reflects a significant chapter in British history. It serves as a reminder of the social issues and political climate that prevailed at the time. In this snapshot, one can witness a large group of people gathered on the street, representing diverse ideas and perspectives. Amidst the backdrop of city life, with its bustling capital cities and vibrant culture, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It encapsulates both the resilience of Londoners during challenging times and their commitment to protecting their community.
