  Treacle mining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treacle mining is the (fictitious) mining of treacle (molasses) in a raw form similar to coal.
"Treacle" originally meant any kind of a thicky syrupy salve, and it is likely that bituminous seeps from coal deposits were used in traditional remedies, so this may have been the kernel of truth that inspired the joke.
The subject of the Treacle Mine has been a whimsical joke played on children and the gullible since at least the nineteenth century and may go back even further.

 Brimstone and Treacle - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Brimstone and Treacle is a 1970s play by Dennis Potter about a middle-aged middle-class couple living in a North London suburb who are unfortunate enough to have their beautiful undergraduate daughter's life reduced to a severely handicapped existence by a hit-and-run driver.
Brimstone and Treacle was originally written by Potter as a television play, commissioned, paid for and recorded (1976) by the BBC, for their Play for Today slot.
It was not shown, because then Director of Television Programmes Alasdair Milne (later, between 1982 and 1987, Director General of the BBC, in which role he ironically became a hate figure of the Thatcher government for, among other reasons, not being censorious enough) found it "nauseating".
