Detail
March your way to the top of the ‘ramp of reform’, the last resting place of a mining community’s proudest possession – the pit banner. Imagine how those miners felt striding together, their banner waving in the wind as they proudly carried it aloft. The banner was a powerful symbol of their unity and strength, binding them together as they pursued workers’ rights and holding them fast in times of grief and strife.
