Lois, the Abram Colliery seems to have worked the Arley Seam of coal so best guess is that that is the one. It was south of Bickershaw Lane in the fields opposite the Queens pub. The other pit close by was Wigan Junction but Abram seems the better bet.Try Googling 'Ackers and Whitley' and you'll find a site Communigate/Coal Mining in and around Abram.
