The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Construit en 1954 pour les Houillères du Bassin de Lorraine, le chevalement dessert un puits à double compartiment d'extraction. Il se compose de deux paires de poussards de chaque côté d'un avant-carré indépendant. Fermé en 1972 et rouvert en 1979, le site minier est entretenu. Ce chevalement est unique dans le bassin lorrain et trois exemplaires seulement du même type sont connus dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

Built in 1954 for the Houillères du Bassin de Lorraine, the headframe serves a shaft with double extraction compartment. It consists of two pairs of brace timbers on each side of an independent fore-square. Closed in 1972 and reopened in 1979, the mining site is maintained. This headframe is unique in the Lorraine basin and only three examples of the same type are known in Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
