Banners and Beyond: People, Parades and Protest in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield by David Amos and Paul Fillingham

Description

Trade union banners played an important role in conveying a sense of community spirit so this booklet looks at how Nottinghamshire coal miners and their communities found expression in the slogans and iconography of Mining Union Banners.  These emotionally charged objects were traditionally displayed at miners’ galas and public events,, at time of conflict, celebration and strife.  24pp, illus.
