The Mayor of Barnsley, Coun Tim Shepherd, has officially opened an exhibition of NUM banners at the Civic.
Held in partnership with Barnsley Museums as part of the Coal not Dole commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the miners' strike, the exhibition gives people the chance to see the NUM's banners, depicting the history and pride of many local collieries.
As well as at galas and rallies, banners were also prominently displayed during protest marches, including during the 1984-85 strike against pit closures.
The exhibition runs until Saturday September 6 in the Assembly Room. Admission is free.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
