Included here are some links to information about the
Miner's Strike of 1984 - 1985 which I was actively involved in.
On the left is the last remaining pithead in Barnsley- Barnsley Main Pithead, still standing despite the fact that the industry is decimated. Ironically, when they filmed 'Brassed Off' the site was not suitable and they had to build a set. It stands, shrouded in trees, overlooking the Dearne Valley; a reminder of our economic and cultural past. |
