Local artist, Duncan Pass's interest in printmaking is primarily relief printing and woodcut which don't require any chemicals, meaning the process is safe and non-toxic and there's no poisonous waste to dispose of, or any need for specialist safety equipment. He employs drypoint methods as well as using chisels and drills.

Describing this print, he says:

"Bare-knuckle fighting was often a part of mining culture, especially when the fair came to town. All the locals would queue up to have a go. This image also represents the struggle for life in a deprived, working-class area."
