To mark the centenary of the 1926 General Strike and miners’ lockout, BRHG members are involved in a project to commemorate the strike in Bristol and the surrounding area. As part of this effort, BRHG has released a series of 8 pamphlets, covering aspects of the strike in Somerset, Bristol and Gloucestershire.
