Miners Strike, 1984-5

  • Description

    Mining Badge from the 1984 strike: 'Margaret Thatcher - She's got to go.' Recently Beamish received a fantastic collection of objects relating to the 1984 Miner's Strike. They were kindly donated by Heather Wood, at the time chairwoman of SEAM (Save Easington Area Mines) who set up a support network to help miners and their families. This began in Easington Colliery but quickly developed into a larger operation as the strike went on. These badges are partly from Heather's own collection and some were donated from other supporters around the country.
