Anne Scargill
TRIBUTES flooded in after the passing of Anne Scargill, a leading figure in the battle against pit closures in the 1980s.
A pioneer of feminist community activism, the Barnsley-born campaigner co-founded Women Against Pit Closures (WAPC), providing support for striking miners and their families.
Ms Scargill travelled internationally, fundraising and gathering support for the strike and continued to fight against pit closures in the 1990s.
