Coal Mine Monceau Fontaine No 18

The 'Rue des Réunis', once a public road in the heart of Charleroi, used to be one of the most fascinating places I have ever seen. When I made the following shots, the 'black sherriffs' of Cockerill Sambre, the former owner of the site, tried to confiscate my films. Well, they got an unexposed 'spare film'. Thus the beauty of this lost place is preserved at least in images. Today the road is fenced off and all buildings are gone.
