The History and Heritage of Coal Mining in the UK. These videos are for Educational, Historical, and National Heritage purposes. While surface "sea coal" was collected by the Romans and medieval societies, the industry exploded in the 18th century, which led to the Global Industrial Revolution, beginning in Great Britain around 1760. Coal was needed to feed James Watt's steam engines, blast iron furnaces, and power the expanding railway networks, and to power the Industrial Revolution in the UK. UK coal production peaked in 1913 with over 1 million men producing 287 million tonnes, a lot of which was exported. In 2015, the final deep-pit coal mine in Great Britain, Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire ("Big K"), brought up its final shift, closing a multi-century chapter of industrial history forever.
