Vintage video : Handsworth Riots, Lozells Rd, Birmingham, UK ,1985 - compilation of news reports...
35 years ago the Handsworth Riots erupted after an attempted arrest by traffic police on the Handsworth Frontline of Lozells Road in Birmingham - and lasted 2 days during which over 50 shops were burnt down, two people died and many others wounded.............
The then Home Secretary - Douglas Hurd - visited the area the morning after and had to escape and was bundled into a Police van after missiles were thrown at him by the angry was only restored with a heavy Police presence - who made a deal with & asked the local Rastafarian leaders for help in calming the angry youths............
For a fascinating ’inside account’ of the days leading up to the riot and an eye witness account of the incident that led to the outbreak of violence outside the Acapulco Cafe on the Lozells Road Frontline - check out this book by Irish author Dervla Murphy called ’A tale of two cities’. The author was a regular at Villa Cross Pub - that was raided a few days before the Riots and was tolerated to a degree by the regulars on the Lozells Road Frontline. Her book also gives a fascinating account of the what she observed going on in both the Villa Cross Pub & the Acapulco Cafe - check it out here:
