Which pits were closed during the miner's strike?

During the miners' strike in the UK from 1984 to 1985, several pits were closed, particularly those targeted for closure by the National Coal Board. Key pits that faced closure included the Cortonwood colliery in South Yorkshire, the Ellington pit in Northumberland, and the Abercynon pit in Wales. The strike was primarily in response to these closures and the broader implications for communities reliant on coal mining. The strike ultimately led to significant changes in the coal industry and labor relations in the UK.
