The large stone memorial, created by Cockenzie-based sculptor Gardner Molloy, was commissioned to recognise the 200 workers from the town who died in the mines, as well as those who worked in them.

Made up of two 12-ton sandstone blocks which represent the mines themselves, with two mineworkers depicted working within them, the memorial was created by Mr Molloy over three years.
