Abandoned iron foundry

Post by Bartje »

Last friday i took a look at the Forges de Clabecq iron foundry.
The factory is being demolished, but a huge part still is there.

The closing of this factory in 1997 was a real disaster for all the thousands of people which worked there.

More pictures at the website.
