Andy Buchanan · Getty In 1984, in the midst of her battle with Britain’s miners, Margaret Thatcher warned that her opponents wanted to turn the country into a ‘museum society’. If the UK was to renew its power and relevance, she argued, its ‘old’ and ‘uneconomic’ heavy industries had to be jettisoned, regardless of their value to the communities and cultures they sustained. This forced-march vision of ‘modernisation’ only entrenched the Conservatives’ unpopularity in large swathes of the Midlands and North of England; and in some ways a ‘museum society’ really did emerge there, not just through efforts to conserve and commemorate industrial heritage, but also through a lingering persistence of the loyalties and beliefs forged by industry, including support for the Labour Party. When Thatcher died in 2013, at least one deindustrialised town, Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire, held a celebratory procession, replete with miners’ banners and burning effigies.
