The extraction was done on the right bank of the Orne river whereas, the shipment by rail took place on the left bank. The emaciated silhouettes of the crusher-accumulators that overlooked the railway tracks are still standing. So is the mining bridge and a storage silo.
This site reminds that in the history Normandy, was once one of the main steel regions in France.
