Chris Butcher

Chris Butcher was miner at the Bevercotes Colliery who during the UK miners' strike (1984–85) actively campaigned against the strike. Due to prematurely grey hair, he acquired the nickname "Silver Birch".[1]

He was involved in organising legal action to block the National Union of Mineworkers, who were running the strike.[1]
