Yes! My house had a huge side space in the cellar that was pretty much brimmed with old big black coal nuggets in a house built in 1910. The chute was next to the open upper window where I would climb out on the coal and wait for my mother to drive to work so I could play going back in the house all day many times. The outside of the house had huge slat wooden slots so that window was crucial to be closed unless somebody opened it so that coal was in the open air. I think there were some broken slats there. It was coal before the oil This house had 10 rooms!

My family lived in this home, built iin1902, for a time. It had an unused coal chute and coal cellar. Our mostly white cat loved to explre the old cellar and would come out covered in coal dust, earning him the name Dirty Elmer.
That looks very much like a house my husband and I renovated and lived in for about seven years. I so loved it. It was in a neighborhood problematic for rearing children and that is the only reason we sold it.
The house where I grew up was built around 1910. It used coal for heating and cooking until I was 12 y.o. when the coal furnace exploded. The house had two coal bins, accessed by the coal truck through basement windows. My mom cooked on a coal stove until that time. The coal was carried to the kitchen in a coal scuttle and shoveled into the stove with a small shovel. My parents had the coal furnace replaced with natural gas, and replaced the coal stove with a gas stove.
I'm old enough, but never lived in a house that had one. Coal-fired central heating was never a big thing in the suburbs of either Sydney or Adelaide, I never lived right in the city.
