In October 2023 an appeal was launched
to find this missing miners' strike banner,
which had been carried by women from south Wales.
The flag, which shows "a strong militant Welsh woman",
was waved by the Women Against Pit Closures group
at rallies and protests during 1984.
The group wanted to find the banner for the 40th anniversary
of the strike, when a rally is being held in Durham in March 2024
for the National Women Against Pit Closures 40th anniversary group.
After placing various appeals on social media, TV and newspapers,
sadly, there was no sign of the banner being located.
After a few months of no success in locating the banner,
the group made a decision.....
they would have a new version made in homage to the original.
This was when they were put in touch with artist Nina Camplin by Joseph Dickens of Elektra Designs, who is now producing T-shirts with Nina's version of the banner printed on them.
