Striking Times: Memories of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strikes is a community exhibition inspired by one of the most bitter industrial disputes in British history.

To mark the 25th anniversary of the miners' strike, Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums’ outreach team worked closely with communities across the North East and the region’s museums to explore and remember the miners’ strikes which were supported and condemned in equal measure.

The exhibition explores the experiences of individuals and communities affected by the strikes through personal objects, photographs and memories and looks at how mining areas have evolved since the closure of the pits.
