‘Heartbreaking’ memories of Miners’ Strike pulled together for 40th anniversary
The 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike is being remembered with the “heartbreaking” testimonies of both the strikers and those branded scabs after they decided to return to work.
Next week marks 40 years since tens of thousands of mineworkers walked out in what became one of the defining events of late 20th century British history but has left families and communities divided to this day.
The anniversary is being marked by a new exhibition at the National Coal Mining Museum, in , and Lynn Dunning said the aim has been to make sure the perspectives of all those involved are represented.
