Описание к видео 'The Ore team' 1984. Part one.

No comments on the rights and wrongs of the 'Coal Strike' will be approved.
This is purely about the transport.
Filmed during the 1984/5 coal strike. Around a 150 lorries at a time would load iron ore from Port Talbot South Wales, then travel down the M4 motorway under police escort to the Llanwern steel works, keeping the steel works open.
Steel mesh over the windows on some lorries can be seen, this is to protect the drivers from missiles thrown by the strikers.
The drivers are given food parcels before leaving as there was no stopping en-route.
Part two to follow.
