The 1926 Miners' Lockout Meanings of Community in the Durham Coalfield Barron, Hester 1980- creator text Electronic books. History enk Oxford OUP Oxford 2009 monographic eng remote 1 online resource (331 pages) The miners' lockout of 1926 was a pivotal moment in British twentieth-century history. Opening with the heady days of the general strike, it continued for seven months and affected one million miners. In County Durham, where almost three in every ten adult men worked in the coal industry, its impact was profound. Hester Barron explores the way that the lockout was experienced by Durham's miners and their families. She investigates collective values and behaviour, focusing particularly on the tensions between identities based around class and occupation, and the rival identities that could cut.
