EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history at the 99th Doncaster Miners Gala in 1986. Organized by the Yorkshire branch of the National Union of Mineworkers, this event was a symbol of solidarity and strength within the mining community.
In this particular image, we see members of the Barnsley Miners Wives Action Group proudly marching with their banner held high. Their presence is a testament to the important role that women played during this turbulent time in British history.
The date, June 21st, 1986, marks a significant day when miners and their families came together to celebrate their heritage and fight for their rights. The sense of unity and determination emanating from this photograph is palpable.
As we reflect on this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the struggles and triumphs of those who fought tirelessly for better working conditions and fair treatment. The Doncaster Miners Gala serves as a reminder of the resilience and spirit that defined an entire generation.
This print is not just a historical artifact; it is a poignant reminder of the power that comes from standing together in solidarity against injustice. It encapsulates a moment in time that will forever be etched into our collective memory.
