Description: | 1893.
Image shows many people, men, women and children, gathered at Tanhouse Pit during the strike, or lockout, of 1893. The 17 week miner's strike was a time of great hardship, so these families are 'coil scratting' - collecting pieces of coal for their fires at home. In the distance Snittles Bridge is visible and the Leeds-Manchester railway line.
