The Battle of Lewisham occurred on 13 August 1977, when 500 members of the far-right National Front (NF) attempted to march from New Cross to Lewisham in southeast London and various counter-demonstrations by approximately 4000 people led to violent clashes between the two groups and between the anti-NF demonstrators and police. 5000 police officers were present and 56 officers were injured (11 of whom were hospitalised) and 214 people were arrested. Later disturbances in Lewisham town centre saw the first use of police riot shields on the UK mainland. Source
A new plaque was unveiled today in New Cross to commemorate the event that took place on this day 40 years ago.
