<p>The River Teme rises in Mid Wales, south of Newtown, and flows southeast roughly forming the border between England and Wales for several miles through Knighton before entering England. From the Bucknell area it flows east to Ludlow and then north of Tenbury Wells on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border on its way to join the River Severn south of Worcester. The whole of the River Teme was designated as an SSSI by English Nature in 1996.</p>

<p>During the strike the miners had setup a tent city where they were able to live (since the mining company evicted them of their company owned homes). Following the violence that erupted on April 20th, 1914 the tents were set ablaze (was it the militia? an accident?). The following day 2 women and 10 children were discovered in one of the cellars and had suffocated. This became known as 'the death pit'. This statue for the monument is placed right next to this pit which has a heavy latched door to keep it dry and critter free. Down the staircase and behind another door is where these offerings were found.</p>

<p>Erected several years after the massacre. The UMWA (United Mine Workers Association) purchased the land and created the monument between 1916 and 1918. They dedicated the monument to honor those who lost their lives in the struggle for labor rights.</p>

<p>Added here for more context as this was not something I recall from the history books. Perhaps only a sentence or two if it was. <br />
<br />
The plaque reads:<br />
On September 23, 1913, coal miners in the Colorado counties of Las Animas and Huerfano struck the mines over unsafe working conditions, long hours and low pay. The majority of the miners were immigrants from Europe and Mexico who believed they were coming to a land of milks and honey, where the streets were paved with gold. <br />
<br />
What they found were company-owned towns where they were paid in company money called "scrip", where they worked 12 to 14 hours a day for pennies per hour in mines where the fatality rates were ten times the national average. <br />
<br />
When the miners struck, the companies evicted them from their homes and did not allow the families to take their possessions with them. The United Mine Workers of America came to their aid by erecting tent colonies to shelter the miners and their families through one of the worst winters in Colorado history. <br />
<br />
Even though their immediate struggle for justice was denied by the coal operators and the state government, the brave stance they took eventually led to better working conditions and entrance to the middle class for miners and workers throughout America. <br />
<br />
This monument was erected May 30, 1918 by the United Mine Workers of America to pay tribute to these brave miners and their families. <br />
<br />
------<br />
On April 20, 1914, the Colorado State Militia attacked the tent colony set up at this site. Four men, two women and eleven children lost their lives in what is now known as the Ludlow Massacre. In all, 30 people lost their lives that day in Las Animas County. <br />

As you visit this place, please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by the men, women, and children who died here, and the impact their sacrifices has made on your life. <br />
<br />
These people, along with later generations of American miners and workers, took the first steps along the path to values and benefits working people across the country enjoy today. These benefits include the eight-hour work day and the 40-hour work week, paid holidays and vacations, paid sick days, overtime pay, pensions, health care benefits, workplace health and safety laws and anti-discrimination laws. They fought for and won social improvements like public schools, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and voting rights for women and minorities. <br />
<br />
We remember the Ludlow martyrs for the courageous stand they took so many years ago on our behalf. We forget their struggle and sacrifice at our peril. <br />
