	Jarrow feature
		The Jarrow march of unemployed did not come about overnight It was the result of nearly two decades of industrial rundown never before known in such an economically active town.
		Of all the marches it is the Jarrow Crusade that became a by-word for the callous reality of bosses' power to deny and destroy work.
		One of the hidden aspects of Jarrow is the fascist connection which as far as the evidence goes, may explain why certain members of the government and captains of industry were so wary of the march and its purpose.

	Jarrow March - MSN Encarta
		Jarrow March, most celebrated of the hunger marches that took place in Britain during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
		The march began in October 1936 in Jarrow, a small shipbuilding town on the River Tyne near Newcastle upon Tyne, which had relied almost completely on a firm closed down in 1934.
		In particular, Jarrow became a symbol of the social and psychological problems created by long-term unemployment; and the publicity generated by the march helped to bring new industry to the area by the end of the decade.

		Harrogate welcomed the Jarrow marches to-day as cheerfully as if they were a relief column raising a siege.

		The more fortunate classes of Jarrow, where not 15 per cent of the employable population is at work, have contributed, but the bulk of the fund has come from the country at large, and more than money.
