The site of the colliery, which closed in 1992, has been under redevelopment by housebuilder Taylor Wimpey through its 471-home Pennington Wharf scheme.
The sixth and final phase of Pennington Wharf, to be built on a 1.4-acre plot off Plank Lane, is made up of 29 homes, including 12 two-bedroom apartments and 17 three- and four-bedroom houses.
A 2,500 sq ft retail store will occupy the ground floor space of the four-storey apartment block. The plans originally included a pub but that element was removed due to lack of demand.
Outline consent for the wider mixed-use project, including 650 homes, was originally granted in 2007; this was extended in 2011 before Wigan Council appointed Taylor Wimpey as developer two years later.
