The slag heap of the Thorn was born from the accumulation of coal shale from 1890, to end in 1958. At that time, the slag heap had several cones. From 1981 to 1985, the site was operated by S.A. Ryan-Europe to recover coal, modifying the original shape of the slag heap. The remodeling and greening of the slag heap immediately followed. Today, the Epine slag heap has irregular slopes and a vast plateau extending over almost its entire summit, where several ponds dug during the remodeling of the site are located. To the north is a marginal bead against which is located the wall of the Neuville cemetery.
