Sun Down on the Miners Memorial
by PeterMac
Mining was a huge industry in the town and surrounding area up to the early 80s when it was phased out.
This wheel was used in one of the actual mine shaft lifts in the major colliery on the foreshore just to the west of the town centre and was refurbished prior to use for the memorial.
The powerstation across the water is Longannet and is europes 3rd largest coal powered power station.
