‘The Battle of Stepney’: You can see Churchill clearly in this newsreel film covering the Sidney Street siege – with the title ‘Houndsditch Assassins at bay, Besieged by soldiers and Armed Police’ – poking his head around the street corner, ‘watching the battle with the chiefs of Police and Detectives’. At the Palace Theatre, London, the film was shown night after night.
