As with part one, no comments regarding the rights and wrongs of the 'coal strike' will be approved, this is purely about the transport !
Filmed during the 1984/5 coal strike. Around a 150 lorries at a time would load iron ore from Port Talbot South Wales, then travel down the M4 motorway under police escort to the Llanwern steel works, keeping the steel works open.
Steel mesh over the windows on some lorries can be seen, this is to protect the drivers from missiles being thrown by the strikers.
Not the best quality video, but after much work it is now at least watchable, the first three minute are on the road and a bit repetitive, but as there is little footage out there of motors of this period I've left it in.
