The Grand Buisson coal mine and its slag heap (known as the 18th century)

Located between rue Wilson and rue de Warquignies (see map).

This is well No. 3, also known as "18 du Grand Buisson" (cork, in patois), in reference to the bushy land that abounded in this district in 1784. This colliery also had a well (19) near Wilson Street in Wasmes.

June 14, 1836: 25 dead. May 3, 1840: 13 dead. 1894: 10 dead. 1901: 19 dead. The well was closed in 1930.
