We are pleased to announce the new exhibition at the National Coal Mining Museum, Wakefield. 'Strike, Not the End of the Story' looks not just at the 1984/5 strikes but at a number of strikes starting with 1893. The use of Oral History has allowed access to memories stretching back to a strike of 1906.

If you visit the reconstructed picket hut you can listen to men and women speaking about picket lines, rallies and marches, or listen on the telephone system in the home area to people remembering soup kitchens, food parcels and the terrible debts which resulted from the strikes. Accompanied by a background soundtrack of mining folk songs, this exhibition is interesting to both people who lived through the mining strikes and also to those who have no memories of the strikes.

Tracey Bradley, Curator of Social and Oral History at the museum said

"ATS-Heritage have been a great help and I'm absolutely delighted with the work that has been done, especially the Trimphone system. ATS-Heritage delivered on-time with a very short time scale, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again".
