Fosse Ledoux, Coal mine in Condé-sur-l'Escaut, France
Fosse Ledoux features two mining shafts constructed in the early 1900s, with a preserved headframe standing as evidence of industrial engineering.
The mining complex began operations on July 16, 1905, and continued extraction until December 30, 1988, surviving both World Wars and industrial changes.
The site includes former miners' housing complexes built in Condé-sur-l'Escaut and Vieux-Condé, reflecting the social organization of mining communities.
The remaining headframe structure received protection status as a French historical monument in 1992, allowing preservation for future generations.
Four large spoil heaps numbered 194, 195, 195A, and 196 surround the former mining site, creating a modified landscape characteristic of the region.
