Some of you will already be aware of the Ushaw Moor miners' strike that began in 1881 but there is a further slant on it, in respect of the Irish, and it's there to read by googling the following:
The Irish in County Durham and Newcastle c1840 -1880.
The material I have in mind starts on page 213 of Roger Cooler's doctoral thesis [ Durham University]. I assume that soon afterwards his title would have been Dr. R Cooler.
