An exhibition of radical press photographs, many unseen, of the miners' strike of 1984-1985, by photographers with the agency Reportdigital.co.uk.

Thirty years ago Margaret Thatcher sought to do the bidding of the wealthy elite, and the Conservative government declared war on the unions. They implemented a secret plan to take on the unions one by one, until they came to the National union of Mineworkers. In March 1984 the government provoked a strike against pit closures, expecting it to be over in a few weeks; the strike lasted 12 months. The miners were to be demonised and discredited by the media, isolated, beaten and starved back to work - yet despite everything that the government could throw at them, 150,000 miners and their families fought back and very nearly won. In the years that followed the most productive and efficient coal industry in the world was closed and whole communities destroyed.

A small group of photographers stood side by side with the miners fighting for their jobs and communities for the 12 months of the strike. This exhibition shows you some of the best of their pictures.
