Cowdenbeath Rotary Club is moving closer to unveiling a mining memorial plaque in Brunton Square.
Planned to coincide with their centenary, it will "tell an important story" about the town that was built on coal.
The project has been on the go for a year and at a meeting on Thursday, members heard that work with Fife Council and contractors is progressing well.
They're now hoping it will be unveiled next month.
Senior vice-president Craig Bennet told members: "A few matters have had to be resolved but thanks to the input from our contractors, CV Carmichael and Eastway Construction, we are very close to being able to start the work to see the plaque erected just off the High Street."
The project is being funded by local sponsorship and public support.
The new installation on the High Street, near to the Pit Miner's Son mural, will pay tribute to those who worked in the 13 local pits in the days of the black diamonds.
The plaque on Brunton Square will be titled 'Cowdenbeath's History is All About Mining (Stent Nae Stent)'.
The wording states: "Cowdenbeath Rotary Club is delighted to celebrate its centenary by creating this memorial to the industry which the town of Cowdenbeath was built on.
"Without coal mining the town would not be what it is today, and we would like to remember the pits which produced thousands of jobs between the late 19th century and mid-20th century, and also the Cowdenbeath NCB Workshops, in Church Street, which had 1,000 employees at its peak.
"Among the pits that made Cowdenbeath No7 were Foulford, The Dora, Mossbeath, Dalbeath, The Alice and The Gordon.
"Cowdenbeath flourished when coal was king and it is important that this is never forgotten, as are the miners who lost their lives in the production of the black diamonds."
