Triage-Lavoir de Péronnes

Slurry treatment tank at Triage-Lavoir de Péronnes.This coal washery was built with the help of Marshall Plan funding in 1954. It processed daily over 3,000 tonnes of coal from the mines of Péronnes, Ressaix and Trivières. In 1969 with the closure of the Saint-Albert and Sint-Margriete mines the washery became redundant and the equipment was removed. It is now a listed historic monument but plans for re-use of the building for small businesses have so far not been developed.
