The Six Townships Community History Group is also known as Six-T Media. We publish multimedia DVDs & history books..... Our heritage is important to us all. The younger folk of today take for granted the nails which hold our world together. The past must be remembered and not forgotten. The coalfields, colliery welfare's, miners, brass bands, football clubs, the allotments, leek clubs, and also our dialect. We aim to help people keep pride in their coal mining roots. What has never died is peoples keenness to preserve and pass on the knowledge that has been passed on from family generation to generation.
Enjoy the Site.
