It wasn't dumping coal, it was dumping waste soil, mud and muck from the local industries. By the 1990s the beach was an environmental disaster. It has since been cleaned up and is unrecognisable from Get Carter.

"Blackhall beach made a notable appearance in the 1971 film Get Carter starring Michael Caine; in the climactic scenes the main character is involved in a chase across a coal-strewn beach"
