St Helens and the 1926 Miners Strike

The 1926 General Strike wasa nine-day national stoppage from May 3 to May 12, 1926, organized by TUC to support 1.2 million coal miners facing severe wage cuts and longer working hours.

How did this impact our town on colliers who had a long standing history of fighting for their rights. What were some of the things that lead up to it and how did the struggling houses of the town cope with the lack of wages and work?
