Miners gather for march re-enactment forty years on

Forty years on from the miners’ strikes, a mining community in the south Wales valleys gathered to re-enact its original march.

Ex-miners from Maerdy, Rhondda Cynon Taf, brought original colliery banners as they came together for the procession at 09:30 GMT on Thursday – many of them having taken part in the original march in 1985.

Pupils from Maerdy Primary School also attended, with hand-made banners.

Mardy Colliery – the last functioning mine in the Rhondda – closed nearly 35 years ago, with 300 job losses.
