Silos Des Bastions

Silos Des Bastions
These reinforced concrete silos adjacent to the Scheldt at Tournai were originally built to hold locally produced cement. The first four were constructed in 1922 and the second four during World War II. After the cement works closed they were converted for grain storage, but are currently empty and derelict.

And, wonderful example of the continued use of canals for freight.

Is this the original width of the canal or is it widened from a 150+ years old one?
