The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chevalement subsistant du puits numéro 2 de l'ancienne fosse Dutemple à Valenciennes, foncée pour la Compagnie des Mines d'Anzin. Isolé aujourd'hui dans un jardin public, le puits ayant cessé son activité en 1949, ce chevalement datant de 1920 et réalisé en béton armé sur le modèle des chevalements métalliques, est un témoin des chevalements construits après la Première Guerre mondiale.

Remaining headframe of shaft number 2 of the former Dutemple pit at Valenciennes, sunk for the Compagnie des Mines d'Anzin. Isolated today in a public garden, the shaft having ceased activity in 1949, this headframe dating from 1920 and made of reinforced concrete on the model of metal headframes, is a witness to the headframes built after the First World War.
