UK Coal

UK Coal was a major British coal mining company that operated several pits across the UK. It played a key role in supplying coal for energy and industry but faced decline due to changing energy policies, market competition, and environmental concerns. The company went into administration in 2013, leading to the closure of many mines and significant job losses. Today, the UK’s coal industry is much smaller, shifting towards cleaner energy sources, with legacy sites often repurposed for redevelopment or renewable energy projects.
