Mark,
The authority on the development of the coal industry in south-west
Lancashire is John Langton, St John's College, Oxford. You could try the
following book, but the period covered may be too early for your company.
Langton, J. Geographical Change and Industrial Revolution: Coalmining in
South West Lancashire, 1590-1799 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979).
