The Battle of Orgreave

A temporary truce: There are smiles all round as the police and miners move to their “part 2” start positions down below the infamous Rotherham to Worksop railway bridge. From now on the re-enactment would take place on the actual ground from 1984, which had seen few major changes in 17 years.
