A look over the town from the former washery at Shaft No.10 which was opened by Société des Charbonnages du Gouffre in 1916. The concrete structures here were built in 1934 when the mine could produce up to 145,00 tonnes per annum. It closed in 1969 and was later a zoo and a scrapyard. It now stands derelict and rather the worse for wear.
