Houthalen

The Houthalen Collliery in the Limburg region of Belgium was operated along with that at Heusden-Zolder in its later life and closed with it in 1992. What remains is rather pointless, as the headframes are entirely out of context without the rest of the buildings that were once here. The scene kept making me think of the tripods in H G Wells' War of the Worlds.

This is what it used to look like.
