On this day, 3 March 1985, after a year on strike and some of the most bitter and open class warfare in British history, the National Union of Mineworkers voted to end their stoppage. A turning point in the fortunes of the working class in Britain, this iconic strike, with its pitched battles and militarisation of mining communities, came to define the decade.
