Markham Main Colliery, Armthorpe, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, 1961. A general view of the colliery taken during refurbishment work in 1961. During the Miners' Strike in the early 1980s, there were violent clashes between strikers and police and the 'Battle of Markham Main' is a reminder of more unsettled times. The site became home to a smart new housing development after the pit closed in 1996.
