  • Born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, he was the son of Thomas Stranks, a labourer and his wife Lydia, née Ironmonger. The family moved to Lichfield in Staffordshire where Sidney completed an apprenticeship. He joined the Operative Society of Masons, Quarrymen and Allied Trades of England in 1888 and became involved in the campaign for independent labour movement representation on political bodies. He moved to Lincolnshire, Manchester and then Croydon. At the 1906 general election, he was selected to stand for Croydon by the Labour Representation Committee, coming in a poor third place. Although Stranks did not stand for Parliament again, he was elected to Lambeth Borough Council, and then in 1928 was elected to London County Council, representing Bermondsey, Rotherhithe. He was re-elected in 1931, and stood down in 1934. The Operative Society of Masons became part of the Amalgamated Union of Building Trade Workers in 1921, and Stranks remained involved to the end of his life.
