EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity of the Miners Strike that took place from 1984 to 1985. In the image, Chief Superintendent Bryan Meadows is seen showcasing the damage inflicted upon a South Yorkshire Police Horse Box at Sheffield Stables on November 7th, 1984. The strike was ignited by the National Coal Board's announcement on March 6th, 1984, stating their intention to close down 20 coal mines and resulting in a devastating loss of over 20,000 jobs. This decision threatened numerous communities across Northern England and Scotland. As tensions escalated, Arthur Scargill, president of the NUM (National Union of Mineworkers), declared a national strike on March 12th. The call for action resonated with miners nationwide as they joined forces in solidarity against these closures. Officially recognized as a strike on March 22nd, this industrial dispute lasted nearly a year before finally concluding on March 3rd, 1985. Throughout this period, protests and demonstrations were commonplace as miners fought tirelessly for their rights and livelihoods. This powerful photograph symbolizes not only the determination of those involved but also highlights the clashes between police forces and striking miners during this tumultuous time. It serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by social unrest and economic struggles within Britain's mining industry.
