Urbex – Charbonnage du Hasard

Posted on 24/06/2013

This is a very old abandoned coal mine. It is particularly interesting, first for the architecture of the buildings, which looks like a castle, but mostly because it is a complete coal mine, every buildings are still standing, the showers, the offices, the technical buildings,… There are also a lot of relics to be found there like miner shoes and miner jackets, respirator, mine wagon,… All in all a very nice place, als very well known in the urban exploration community, even though it’s been vandalized.

This is an abandoned factory of an international paper and packaging company. Pictures of this set shows only the main building, which is a beautiful one. There were other warehouse around it but they were of little interest. Now all the warehouse have been demolished, and I don’t know what they’ll do with the main building. I don’t think they’ll demolish it, as it stands alone among the ruins of the warehouses for a few weeks now. I guess they would have demolished it sooner if that’s what their intention was…

This is an abandoned coal mine somewhere in Belgium. This site closed its doors in 1976. The buidings are in a really bad state. This is very sad as the architecture of the buildings was quite particular. Of the few buildings still standing on the site, we can note the offices and the shower buildings. There are also two little buildings further in the site.

This is an abandoned laboratory of research in agricultural physics and chemistry. The buildings are in a quite good state and it was a very interesting exploration mostly because the laboratories where in a very good state with lots of chemical stuff in it.

Urbex – Eurofonderie

This factory produced pieces for agricultural equipment. It was then reconverted in producing auto parts, but in 1994, it closed its doors. It is since left abandoned and is the playground of soft air players and street artists. Part of the factory has burned a few years ago. Its fate is still uncertain.

Urbex – Tannerie Schotte

This is an abandoned tannery somewhere in Belgium. It is a beautiful factory, but also a very dangerous one because it is full of asbestos. There were a lot of very interesting graffitis also. Fortunately for this place, they’re actively renovating it now, but I don’t know what they plan to do with it. A cultural center, a shopping mall or maybe appartments ? This is a real chance for this factory, because it would have been a real shame to demolish it.

Abandoned factory somewhere in Belgium. This was a boiler factory. Some parts of the buildings were used as parking for a bus company, which prevented me to explore much of the place.

An old abandoned coalmine, there are only a few buildings left of it. Some buildings are still occupied, they’re used as warehouse by a construction material shop. Strangely, the buildings were used as a zoo at a certain time, but the zoo closed a few years later.

Urbex – Cokeries d’Anderlues

Abandoned coke factory. There really isn’t much left of it. It seems that they’re half demolishing, half reconverting the site. It’s now the playground of soft air players. This is one of the dirtiest place I’ve ever explored.

Urbex – Forges de Clabecq

Posted on 06/06/2013

This is a very well known industrial site in Belgium. The forges de clabecq are particularly known for the social fights that took place in the early 2000 when it was closed. Thousands of people lost their jobs. The site is now being demolished.
