On March 6th, 1984 miners at Cortonwood Colliery in Yorkshire went on strike.
Six days later, on March 12th, NUM President, Arthur Scargill, made the strike official across Britain.
And so began the UK’s biggest strike since the General Strike of 1928. It ran for almost a year until March 1985 ‐ a year of bitter conflict between the miners and Margaret Thatcher and her government and marked the end of the mining era in Britain.
