Much like my other thread in the Leisure section, this is a mix of Belgian industry that doesn't warrant separate threads.
Atelier Decor
One of the more visited Belgian locations, this is a prime example of what makes Belgium what it is amongst explorers. A great place, hilariously obvious access and a nice peaceful wander, albeit this time in the pouring rain! This place was a plasterer's workshop at some point, it's taken a battering from the elements and thieves but still worth a look.

IM Cooling Tower
I covered the main power station last year but missed the cooling tower due to a succession of unfortunate events, namely dropping my gear in the muddy water underneath, whacking my head on a concrete support and then ripping a huge hole in my trousers!
It was worth the wait though, as the conditions made it that bit more special even though it was BLOODY FREEZING

Charbonnage du Gouffre
The continuous snow made some of our plans a bit stupid so we were forced into backup mode big time on one day, so we hit up a couple of the coal washeries that have been closed for decades. Only shells left but once again the conditions played into our hands as the snow made them that bit more interesting to wander round.
Not a bad view as far as they go

Charbonnage Forte-Taile
We missed the boat on this one, what used to be a fairly interesting location with a lot of old cars dotted around the site was now no more than a couple of large empty buildings and an old excavator...my bad on total research fail!

Eylenbosch Brewery
I nearly totalled my lens here, knocking my fully extended tripod over and it faceplanted a stone floor...luckily no real harm done other than a small crack in the front of the lens casing!
A mostly empty brewery but a few nice features.

A huge old foundry on the outskirts of a large city, one I stumbled across by accident on another forum. At some point most of it has been prepped for demolition with windows removed, stuff piled up etc but nothing has happened.
