Description | One envelope containing 76 newspaper cuttings describing the end of the Penrhyn strike, where a vote from the strikers decided that they were to go back to work. Many of the cuttings describe major events from the beginning of the strike until the end, including opinions on when the strike truly ended – many saying it ended years before when work restarted in the quarries. Some of these cuttings suggest that the strike was pointless from the beginning and the men should not have continued it for so long. Cuttings do not agree on what will happen to the strikers after, some saying Lord Penrhyn will act generously, others saying he will not allow all the strikers back into work. |
