Which side were you on?

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is planning to mark the 25th anniversary of the miners' strike, a key turning point in modern British history. We are keen to hear your stories of that time.

We'll be looking at the personal as well as the political and economic effects of the strike during 1984-85 and this is an opportunity for you to tell your own stories.

Thousands of people from across Yorkshire were involved in one way or another. We want to give people an opportunity to give their own account of what happened, and what you believe was the wider significance of the strike.

If you were involved in the miners' strike,Μύor your life, or your family, was affected by the events, we'd like to give you the opportunity to tell us your memories.

How has the miners' strike affected you? How it has changed your life, or your community's life, over the last 25 years?Μύ
