THIS week's Down Memory Lane pictures come from the vast collection of Ballingry man Alex Hunter.
These include a spectacular shot of one of the earth scrapers in action during work regrading the pit spoil on the bings which were the remnants of the Mary and Glencraig Collieries.
Another shows the landscape which you would see any time you drive passed what now is Lochore Meadows Country Park in the late 1960s and very early 1970s.
The vision of Fife County Council's planning director, Maurice Taylor, that the pit spoil could become a country park was fast being realised!
If you have any old photographs you would like to see in our Down Memory Lane feature email them to editorial@centralfifetimes.co.uk or take these to the Times Office, 17 Bank Street, Lochgelly on a Monday or a Friday.
