Cinder was the old term for Coke. There are quite a few references to Cinder Ovens etc.

Subject: Cinder pits
Please can some one advise me why a coal mine shaft might have been
called "Cinder Pit"?
There was one at Quarrington [i.e. Bowburn], in Durham. But I see
from web-search that there were others called this, elsewhere in the
country.
Thanks
Mike
