The Battle of Orgreave

Although driven up the road by the Short Shields, defiant “miners” shout slogans and throw “missiles” at the officers, holding their line only a few yards away. Meanwhile the the Long Shields are hurrying up behind take over and to consolidate the new position outside No. 31 Highfield Lane, just as in 1984.
