Fife Coal Company
The Fife Coal Company was established in 1872 to take over the operations of the Beath and Blairadam Coal Company. Its head office was latterly in Leven. With the absorption of eight further companies, it had become the largest operator in the field in Fife by 1909. By 1913, with 14,000 mineworkers, it was the largest mining industry employer in Scotland and the third-largest in the United Kingdom. In addition to coal, the company worked some ironstone. The company was disestablished on 31 December 1946 under nationalisation, transferring to the new National Coal Board the next day.
