3 February 1985 The Miners’ strike came to an end, almost a year after it had begun.

COAL NOT DOLE written by Kay Sutcliffe

What will become of this pit yard?
Where men once trampled faces hard
Tired and weary, their shift's done
Never having seen the sun

HARRY STONE  aka   HEARTS OF COAL written by John Tams

He promised he would love her
Til the blackbirds stopped their singing
The mission bells stopped ringing
And they closed the coal pit down
