Where do you stand? Visit PHM’s headline exhibition for 2026 and explore how strike action has shaped the history and future of British democracy. Part of the national commemorations marking 100 years since the 1926 General Strike where the exhibition begins, On The Line takes visitors on a journey through a century of struggles and stories of strength. An unprecedented act of unity, the 1926 General Strike saw workers across the country withdraw their labour in support of over a million miners who had been locked out of work for refusing to accept lower pay. On The Line examines the impact of strike action on individuals, communities, and wider society, highlighting key moments of solidarity, when people have united as a last resort in the face of injustice, poor working conditions, and unfair treatment.
