Digital copy of a photograph showing miners and their families, along with local politicians and union officials, marching back to Garw/Ffaldau Colliery days after the end of the miners' strike in March 1985. The procession set off from the Square in Pontycymmer and walked the mile or so to the pit in Blaengarw. Wearing a duffle coat on the left is Heidi Harding, aged 14, whose elder brother Vincent worked at the colliery.
