Striking Miner At Orgreave
View of a striking miner as he kicks a soccer ball in front of a line of police officers near the Orgreave coking plant, Orgreave (later renamed Waverly), Yorkshire, England, May 1984. Though the mine's colliery had been closed several years earlier, the coal plant still operated in spite of the strike. Several months later, the plant became the focal point for the most violent confrontation of the country-wide strike between police and miners, known as the 'Battle of Orgeave' (on June 18, 1984).
