The economic pressures of the Great Depression hit the industry hard, pitting miners against mine owners, causing wide- spread community hardship and culminating in fatal violence on 16 December that year. To commemorate the anniversary of the Rothbury Riot, that explores the lead-up to the day, now known as the Rothbury Riot and charts its enduring consequences. The exhibition will run during Cessnock Library opening hours from Saturday 31 August until Friday 13 September 2019. Cessnock Library will also host a talk on Jim Comerford, who was a young 15 year old pit boy at the Rothbury Riot. Jim had a long and eventful, sometimes controversial life. He was a long time official in the Miners' Federation: one of the strongest most militant unions.
