Orgreave

Orgreave is a village in South Yorkshire, England, known primarily for the Orgreave Colliery, a coal mine that operated from 1900 to 1985. It became notable in 1984 during a major confrontation between police and striking miners, known as the Battle of Orgreave. This incident was part of the broader miners' strike against pit closures and government policies. The event drew widespread attention and controversy over police actions and labor rights. Today, Orgreave is remembered as a symbol of industrial history and the conflicts surrounding labor and economic change in the UK.
