This lesson on how the LGBTQ+ community responded to the Miners’ Strike was especially commissioned by the History Academy to help mark the 40th Anniversary in 2024. It looks at the problems facing the LGBTQ+ community during the 1980s, the start of the strike and the work of LGSM to help support Welsh pit communities, as well as how the NUM supported LGBTQ+ rights after the strike. This is very much an attempt to shine a light at an important piece of hidden history, which had a major impact on changing Modern Britain and eventually improving LGBTQ+ civil rights . This lesson is aimed at both KS4 and KS5, but if you are looking for a lighter touch for KS3, then check out our other resources on the Miners’ Strike covering not just LGBTQ+ but how other sections of British society reacted to the MIners’ Strike 1984 - 1985.

When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download an 18 slide PowerPoint and an accompanying three page worksheet. The PowerPoint contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, historical sources, video clips, information slides, a heads and tails activity and series of questions which examine various aspects of both the strike and the LGBTQ+ experience during the 1980s. The accompanying three page worksheet mirrors the content and questions in the PowerPoint. Both resources have also been uploaded as PDFs, just in case you don’t have access to MIcrosoft Office.

The Miners Strike 1984 - 1985

The History Academy has commissioned these resources to help commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Miners' Strike, 1984 - 1985. We asked Roy Huggins who was Head of History at Mexborough School for 27 years to create these resources based upon his first hand experience of working with the Doncaster Oral History Project, former miners and teaching this important turning point in Modern Britain,which has become a 'hidden' or 'forgotten' history due to the uncomfortable issues that it raises about policing and civil rights. In this bundle we have have added all our resources on this topic and will continue to add to it over time, so if you buy today you'll get the updates and new resources for free. For more information, please see the sample preview for each lesson. A big thank you to : Martin Shakeshaft - who has allowed us to use several of his photos for free to help promote the teaching of the Miners' Strike in schools.
