Melanie & The Miners' Strike
MELANIE & THE MINERS' STRIKE is a book edited by Victoria P Gill, of pictures taken by her mum Melanie in the '80s. Of course the book has everything and nothing to do with the miners’ strike. The pictures speak for themselves. The pictures speak for Melanie and the people in them. This was not a time of camera phones and Melanie and her friends were not at university or art school, they were born in Leeds and left school and worked in Leeds. These pictures were taken with no motive, but just simply Melanie and her mates on their average weekends. We are fortunate that Melanie took these photographs and that Victoria found them and recognised something special in them.
