Orgreave Seen 25 Years On From The Start Of The Miners Strike

ROTHERHAM, ENGLAND - MARCH 12: Miners cottages in the village of Treeton overlook the land where the former Orgreave coking plant was situated, 25 years on from the start of the miners strike, March 12, 2009 in Rotherham, England. A quarter of a century on from the infamous Battle of Orgreave the site is now levelled and waiting for house and recreation development. Many former miners and locals are now campaigning for a monument dedicated to the events of June 1984, when thousands of striking miners picketed the Orgreave coking works and ran pitched battles with police.
