 Townhead
Probably the most famous occurrence in the history of the Egremont Mines, Cumberland, was the Townhead Pit Disaster, which although it did not claim as many lives as many local accidents, did have a unique claim to fame.
Townhead Pit was situated in the fields to the south of the Egremont to Cleator road, and the shaft concerned, No.7, was sandwiched between the road and the railway, having only recently been completed at the time of the accident.
Confirmation of the award was sent by letter from the Home Office to Mr J A Grant, MP for the Egremont Division in early July, and the medal, known as the Miners' V.C., was pinned to Cairns's coat by King George V at Buckingham Palace, the announcement being made later in the month.

In front of a big turnout of Windsor fans, the Honest Toun’s club’s highly-rated outfit were streets ahead of their Coatbridge rivals in the first half and goals from Daryl Curran, in the 26th minute, followed by another from Mark Moncrieff two minutes later gave Windsor a 2-0 lead at the break.
Townhead struggled to make any impression on the game and they never got out of first gear.
But their goal was only delayed and Neil Fern took advantage of slack marking to fire the ball into the roof of the Windsor net to reduce the deficit to 3-1.
