Seafield Colliery was in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. Work on the colliery was started on 12 May 1954 and production began in 1966.[1] On 10 May 1973, five men were killed when a roof collapsed.[2][3] Despite it being said that it had a life of 150 years, with millions of tons, much of the coal being deep under the bed of the Firth of Forth,[1] Seafield Colliery was closed in 1988.[4] In September 1989, the Seafield Colliery twin towers were demolished.[5][6]
Darts player Jocky Wilson, was once a miner at the colliery.[7]
The site of the former colliery has been built over and is now a housing estate.[5]
