Cowdenbeath is a town and burgh in west Fife, Scotland. It lies 5 miles north-east of Dunfermline and 18 miles north of the capital, Edinburgh. The town developed around the enormous coalfields of the region and became a Police Burgh in 1890. Based upon population stats from 2008, Cowdenbeath has a fixed population of around 14081. Within this population, 48.5 percent are male and 51.5 per cent are female, which is consistent with the proportional split by gender in both the Fife and Scottish populations. Prior to 1850, Cowdenbeath was just a group of farms divided into four districts named after local farms. Regional citizens of these centerpieces of progression, which were merging into a single town, met to choose a name for the emerging town. The ultimate decision was narrowed down to either White Threshes or Cowdenbeath. The arrival of the Oakley Iron Company around 1850 was to have an enduring effect upon Cowdenbeath, making the name synonymous with coal-mining for almost 100 years. Shafts were sunk in the vicinity of the old Foulford Washer. It was in the mining for ore that the discoveries of the coal seams were made, and pits were sunk at every corner of the town. Characterising the northern border of Cowdenbeath is a rural landscape, which merges into the Lochore Meadows Country Park, ‘The Meadies’. This previously industrial and mining landscape, which was the home of multiple pit-heads including the Mary Pit, whose winding gear structure looms over the park as a memorial to its noteworthy mining history, is at present an extremely alluring area which provides leisure and recreational outdoor amenities.
