@ewangibbs.bsky.social@ewangibbs.bsky.socialReposted by @ewangibbs.bsky.socialToday’s Daily Record has a feature about my research on the closure of Cardowan colliery in Lanarkshire. It was pivotal in the build up to the 1984-85 miners’ strike and breaking union power. For more on Cardowan, read my new book, An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class.
@ewangibbs.bsky.socialThanks! Glad you enjoyed it
