Who are British Coal?

Originally formed in 1946, British Coal was primarily involved in the extraction and purification of coal deposits found throughout the United Kingdom. As the population was more reliant on this type of fuel at the time, British Coal was a large firm, but, as of 26th January 1997, the company formally ceased all operations. However, many ex-miners may still have been mis-sold final salary schemes in the past.
