This banner replaced the original which was acquired by the UDM as a result of court action in 1984. The front lists all the pits that were in operation in 1984. Painted and stitched on cotton fabric in 1984 by Carla Jamison of the Basingstoke Support Group. 233 cm wide and 150 cm high. The rear of the banner is blank save for a small label describing who made it and when.
