Fosse n° 1 - 1 bis des mines de Nœux, Coal mine in Nœux-les-Mines, France.

The mining complex consists of two extraction shafts, shaft No. 1 and shaft No. 1 bis, located at 397 Nationale Street in Nœux-les-Mines.

Construction of the first shaft began on April 1, 1851, while the second shaft commenced operations in May 1883, becoming the main extraction point.

The mining facilities demonstrate the industrial growth of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, including central offices, workshops, and the Saint Barbara Church.

The site remains open to visitors and displays preserved industrial remains, including the headframes of both shafts and several auxiliary buildings.

The waste heap number 36, located north of the site, has evolved into a wooded area while maintaining its industrial heritage character.
