Coal Mining in the East Neuk of Fife

By (author) John McManus

Coal mining in Fife has an industrial history of four hundred years, although, in the East Neuk of Fife, despite many accessible and shallow deposits, the industry is long inactive. John McManus provides a survey of the geology and a history of the socio-economic factors that led to the rise and decline of the industry in this area.
