Jenny Gray Pit 1947
*The watermark is for internet copyright purposes only and will not appear on the purchased printThe Jenny Gray was one of the first collieries sunk in the Lochgelly area by the Lochgelly Iron Company in 1854 - the presence of ironstone was initially more important than coal deposits Unlike other pits which were named after wives or daughters of owners it is thought that "Jenny Gray" was the owner of a plot of land adjacent to the mine workings. The pit had a further two shafts (1889 and 1927) and it finally closed in 1059
