UK Underground Coal Roadways for Mining Infrastructure Mapping

UK data representing underground roadways that connect or lead to areas of coal working. The dataset is provided by the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority, which changed its name in November 2024. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-14.

Use Cases

• Map historical underground coal mining infrastructure based on roadway data.
• Model subsidence or ground stability risks based on the location of underground roadways.
• Plan environmental remediation or land development projects around former mining areas.
• Conduct safety assessments for areas with potential legacy mining activity.

Strengths

• Provided by the authoritative UK Mining Remediation Authority.
• Last updated on 2026-04-14, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial extent are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to UK coal mining regions.
