Fears are growing for the future of an historic Fife mining monument, which has been left fenced off and crumbling away.
The Mary Pit Head winding tower in Lochore Meadows Country Park, which has been a prominent feature on the landscape for over 100 years, has been fenced off since last June, amid concerns for public safety.
Falling masonry from the tower forced owners Fife Council to cordon it off.
