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. Local councillors on the march included Muriel Williams (in the light coat), Will Trigg, Vernon Chilcott and Colin Evans. Terry Thomas, Vice President of the South Wales NUM, walks next to the wall at Muriel Williams' side.
