On 30 September 2002 we did a group exploration of the Charleroi Métro
but also drove around the coal and steel industry in this town. This was
really very pretty, all black and brown colors of coal and rust. Big pipes,
conveyer belts and nice industrial buildings. We stopped for pictures at
a bridge over a bundle of railroad tracks. We saw abandoned watertowers,
a collapsed pipeline, some overgrown tracks and a blocked off but old looking
railroad tunnel. Worth a revisit I should think. |

Interesting place, Charleroi |
Worth a revisit indeed. So on 4 oktober 2003 we were back. |

Small abandoned factory nearby. Unfortunately
we were chased away by the owner. |
Big and active foundry |
More active but impressive factories
