'TV Eye' reports from the pit that started the Miners Strike - Cortonwood in South Yorkshire. The Pit has 5 years worth of coal left - this would keep 850 miners in work. The coal board say that it is too costly to keep the pit open - the miners try to force the NCB to keep the pit open and went on strike.
