Beringen Mine Museum

Beringen | Belgium
What a sight! The long line of carefully built individual showers in the miners’ washroom appears to be never-ending. Here every man had his own cabin.

Les Gueules Noires - the black faces: That’s the way the Walloons called their coal buddies.

Nordwolle

Delmenhorst | Germany
