Charbonnage de Forte-Taille
The Forte-taille colliery was mined from 1875 to 1935.
The company was created in 1865, it is a modest colliery. In 1920, twelve miners died in the background. It is from this moment that this colliery will decline. In 1929 a single seat still extracts coal, it will close in 1935.
The coal is extracted as early as 1755, work is undertaken in the outcropping and shallow areas by galleries. A concession is granted on March 14, 1808, then others in 1827, 1895, 1897 and 1919. A company is created in 1865 and digs the first colliery at great depth, the well of the Future. The coal mine of Forte-Taille was created in October 1886. A royal decree appeared on March 13, 1930 to authorize the exploitation. In 1950, the colliery was bought by a company.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the headframes were demolished and all that remains is an old building in bad condition.
