This website, www.nmrs.org.uk  has attempted to map every coal mine in the British Isles. Amazing project!

The maps are in this section linked below.
Scroll down a bit on the page, click on a map, wait for it to load, and then you can zoom right in. There is info on each mine if you click on each of the black circles
