    I believe the strike started at Cortonwood Colliery where some miners had had to take transfers from other mines that had closed. The strike was about pit closures rather than pay and conditions and at the time there were 170 mines employing 170,000 miners. It seems to me 25 years on that the former miners have come to terms with the past and their opponents are still coming out with the same dogmatic spin they did at the time.
