Pic by Si Barber - 07739 472 922 Marchers in Burston, Norfolk commemorating the Burston School Strike, the longest trade dispute in British history. The strike, from 1914-1939 began when teachers at the village's Church of England school, Kitty Higdon and her husband, Tom Higdon, were sacked after a dispute with the area's school management committee and schoolchildren came out in their support.
