The line graph illustrates the number of deep mines producing coal in the UN between decades.
As an overall trend, the numbers of deep coal mines falls year by year. The mount of numbers were in 1913 with 3024 coal mines. The less number of mines showed itself in 2015 having only 5 deep coal mines.
In 1913, the UK boasted a substantial total of 3,024 deep coal mines. However, this number witnessed a decline to 2,607 by 1923, marking the onset of a protracted decrease. The years that followed saw a more pronounced reduction, with the figure plummeting to 1,690 in 1943. By 1983, the number further diminished to 943, signifying a drastic loss of mining operations in the decades leading up to this point.
The trend of decline continued sharply in the subsequent years, with a staggering reduction to just 170 mines in 2003. This trend culminated in an almost negligible number of deep coal mines, with only 5 remaining operational by 2015. The data clearly illustrates the continuous and marked decrease in deep coal mining activities within the UK, reflecting significant changes in energy production and economic factors over the span of more than a century.
