On Thursday 5th June in the NUM Miners Hall in Barnsley, Dr Joe Stanley gave a presentation entitled ‘Five Shillings Per Day’: The 1819 Yorkshire Miners’ Strike and its significance to the formation of Mining Unions.
The talk took place in the year of the 150th anniversary of the NUM Offices building designed by Barnsley architects Wade and Turner. The Miners’ Hall is next door in Victoria Road; the splendid banners were a great backdrop.
