Martin Jenkinson was a freelance photographer who lived in Sheffield in south Yorkshire. Tens of thousands of people will have seen his work in national and regional newspapers, perhaps without knowing his name.
Jenkinson died in February 2012 but the images he produced will live on for decades, carrying messages of working-class struggle and determination.
Now some of his work has been reproduced in the illustrated book Images Of The The Past: The Miners' Strike which coincides with the 30th anniversary of its beginning in March 1984.
