No Future Coking Plant...

The S.A. Cokeries et Houillères d'Anderlues closed down in 2002. It was one of the last coking plant active in Belgium, producing and selling foundry coke.

It seems that the demolition of the site had been stopped. Some buildings and chimneys are missing.

Yet there is still a lot to see there, even if the site has been vandalized. Buildings are beautiful, installations are impressive (gazometers, furnaces, tar citerns, laboratories). Offices have also been devastated, but lots of archives can be found.

By clicking here you can see some photos of the coking plant in activity.
