Life on the TrackBy: Frank Henderson

For nearly four decades, Frank Henderson was a trade union activist in Longbridge, the Birmingham car plant that stood at the centre of industrial militancy throughout much of the post-war period. He was a councillor during Labour's heyday as a mass party and helped fight racism under Enoch Powell and the National Front. Frank's memoirs offer a sharp insight into the politics of the post-war working class from Attlee to Thatcher.
