The Battle of Armthorpe, 1984

The clip has been borrowed from the C4 series, which side are you on and looks at what happened during the Battle of Armthorpe in 1984. It includes interviews with eye witesses and survivors. It has been uploaded for educational and professional development purposes. If you would like to share your experiences on the Miners' Strike as an eye witness from the period 1984 - 1985, then we would invite you to do some by commenting on the videos. The passions aroused by the Miners' Strike are still very real and alive so I would ask people to comment and be respectful of the RUclips community guidelines. Without whom we would not be able to share these videos for free and keep alive for prosperity one of the most significant turning points in modern British History.

I walked past Markham Main every day on my way to school. It's no wonder that a bitter hatred of the police in the village was still there for years after.

The police were much too lenient.

Scargill began a fight he could not win, and in the process destroyed the NUM.
