In April 2000 the Seghill Community Association was awarded
a Millennium ‘Awards for All’ Lottery grant to research and stage
an exhibition of pictures showing 100 years of change in Seghill. This book
is an extension of the same project, to show, explain and catalogue the village,
the legends and the people who made them.
Seghill can draw on at least 1,000 years of history and this book will remind
the reader of its heritage as well as giving the community something to look
forward to in the future. The village was built on the broken backs of thousands
of coalminers, but as memories of our industrial heritage fade, Seghill, like
many former mining villages, is changing and is entering a third phase of
its lifecycle. Who knows what our descendents will think of us in 100 years
time?
