The 1984-1985 Miners’ Strike in Nottinghamshire by Jonathan Symcox

Description

The diary of John Lowe.

John Lowe was at the forefront of the fight for jobs during the twelve months of the miners’ strike from 1984-5 as the elected chairman of Clipstone Colliery’s strike committee in the largely working county of Nottinghamshire. He reflected upon events both at local and national level in his diaries and this reflection is illustrated by an exhaustive collection of photographs, correspondence, court documents and campaign literature. 176pp
