Voices from the Miners’ Strike Forty Years On: Historians Robert Gildea and Jim Phillips in conversation with Patricia Clavin
Please note this discussion is on Wednesday 6 March at Worcester College
The first week in March marks the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike, when 170,000 miners, backed by their families and supporters across the UK and abroad, fought to defend their pits, their jobs and their communities.
