It was absoluteutopia who originally posted about the place at Whitesides Corner but they haven't been back to this thread as far as I can see. Would be a shame if it's a wild goose chase as would have saved us a bit of money - we like to have the fire roaring away over Christmas.

I pm'd absoluteutopia and a couple others but no one has got back to me.

I hear there are substantial deposits of Lignite around the Crumlin area and Ballymoney area's of Antrim. Fancy a bit of mining??

£6.90 for 25Kg Household coal in Newtownards - nearly £2 cheaper than our local garage. any other ACTUAL suppliers cheaper locally?

Did you guys ever find coal in your region? Sorry this is a late reply, I just found the thread following the opening of our open fire.

The prices seem very cheap. I live in Gloucestershire and we pay £16 for 50kg of house coal. I have to say we started using Oxbow Glow which is a smokeless fuel and have negotiated a price of £18 per 50kg. It is easier to light, it burns very hot and it lasts longer than house coal. Oh and it is much cleaner in general.

Hope you found some and it wasn't too expensive...garages are a complete rip-off. They wanted £12 for 10kg which is a huge price difference :mad:

Is this the place near Jubilee Pet Store, and the MOT centre etc - I went back their earlier in the year and it was all shut up, thought they had closed down but delighted if they are still open - coal was great and you drive straight into the building, so you don't even have to get wet!

Bloomfield Fuels in East Belfast used to be good value too, but havent checked them in a while.
