Nope - think again - Nuneaton new mined that area from 1864 to 1900. And Haunchwood Nowells very close - the Etruria marl was on top of the coal albeit sloping to the west. Nowells shafts were only around 600 feet deep and Nuneaton new would have been similar as they were sank just in from the outcrop. The roadways however followed the dip in the seams so at Galley Common the tunnel shafts were over a Thousand foot deep. If you know what I mean.
Lots of historic extraction in that area and not that deep in mining terms.
