We mine and export as well as a large internal household market. Still lots of coal unfortunately, we may have stopped using it for power generation but it’s still being used.
There’s Ratcliffe-on-Soar and that doesn’t run all the time, and very rarely at anything approaching full power. It’s closing for good later this year.
Lots of coal in the UK
Over the past year coal has only generated 1.2% of power in the UK

Looks like there’s one mine left operating at any real capacity. ~100,000 tonnes a year.

Much of that mine’s output is apparently ground down for carbon filters, although it used to be used at a nearby steelworks that I think is now shut.
Domestic use of coal is pretty rare, most people not using gas or electric are using wood burners.
What?
