coal mining in britain, particularly in south wales, started early. before the steam engine, pits were often shallow bell pits following a seam of coal along the surface, which were abandoned as the coal was extracted. in other cases, if the geology was favourable, the coal was mined by means of an adit or drift mine driven into the side of a hill. shaft mining was done in some areas, but the limiting factor was the problem of removing water. it could be done by hauling buckets of water up the shaft or to a sough (a tunnel driven into a hill to drain a mine). in either case, the water had to be discharged into a stream or ditch at a level where it could flow away by gravity. the introduction of the steam pump by thomas savery in 1698 and the newcomen steam engine in 1712 greatly facilitated the removal of water and enabled shafts to be made deeper, enabling more coal to be extracted. these were developments that had begun before the industrial revolution, but the adoption of john smeaton's improvements to the newcomen engine followed by james watt's more efficient steam engines from the 1770s reduced the fuel costs of engines, making mines more profitable. the cornish engine, developed in the 1810s, was much more efficient than the watt steam engine.
