Seafield Colliery

Seafield Colliery

Seafield Colliery was in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland at gbmapping|NT276895. Work on the colliery was started in 12th May 1954 and it was opened in 1960. On 10th May 1973, five men were killed when a roof collapsed. Despite it being said that it had a life of 150 years, with reserves of 60 million tons - much of the coal being deep under the bed of the Firth of Forth - Seafield Colliery was closed in 1988. In September 1989, the Seafield Colliery twin towers were demolished.

Darts player Jocky Wilson, was once a miner at the colliery.

The site of the former colliery has been built over and is now a prestigious housing estate.
