Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This sculpture was created Cockenzie based sculptor Gardner Molloy, to remember the 200 workers from the town who died in the mines, as well as women and children who had to work with the miners. The monument features an imagined scene inside the mines, with two miner digging for coal. The sculptures of the two miners are hunched over while digging.
