Terre Rouge (visited 10/2017)

[Andy]

In the silos of the blast furnace Terre Rouge, iron ore and lime was stored, mixed and then burned in the blast furnaces. The gases were used to power the nearby thermal power plant "Central Thermique", which was built in 1951 and closed in 1997. The power plant is currently being demolished.​

Nice report and beautiful pictures! Much better than my snaps oft that place...

I was there in September, and I think Centrale Thermique was already completely gone if I'm not mistaken

Nice series Andy.

Still on my list this one, so the nearby power plant is being demolished, hope this one will stay a bit longer

Thanks for the share!
