Correct, most of coal mining in Lancashire was in the South Lancashire Coalfield centred on Walkden Yard where there was a locomotive depot and railway lines to the surrounding collieries to collect wagons for the supply of coal to local power stations.
Now all gone with the exception of Astley Green Colliery which is now a museum.
