One image telling two stories. The top half – the banner – reminds us of the fact that there were times when people were proud of political achievements, a time when the welfare state was something to be paraded through the streets as a badge of social honour. The lower part of the picture is all about faces, faces of the past and of the future. I took the picture in Rotherham 42 years ago, just before the start of the miners’ strike.
