Summer 2002, scrapping the old washery. The headframe on the picture is not there any more, it was replaced by new one in december 2008.

    The former headgear was built on the 40s. The Koepe system one on the left handside was attached to the original on the 70s. The washery was not replaced. It was decommissioned long time ago, as much as 20 years ago almost.
    This pit is nowadays the most important one at the company.

    But what a spectacular headgear it was! Did the washery get replaced with a new one, or got the site downgraded to a ventilation shaft?
