Strike originally in mills by cotton spinners but soon spreading to other industries. Attacks on railway lines (maps made of communication lines). Violence only resorted to when threats didn't work.

Demanding bread from houses. Shopkeepers in Hyde giving out food on credit. Some bakers shops in Deansgate totally gutted - bread taken out and distributed amongst the crowd. Tried to break into watchmakers shop. Mob saw shopkeeper in Oldham street pulling down his shutters and that was cue for attack. Demanding money saying they had had enough bread.
