The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Après la découverte de la mine de charbon en 1852 et le fonçage du puits Saint-Emile n° 2 en 1855, la première extraction de charbon à Marles a lieu en 1858, par la Compagnie des Mines de Marles. Le chevalement subsistant, de petite taille, de type poutrelles à treillis, date d'avant 1914, seul rescapé des destructions de la Première Guerre mondiale. La machine d'extraction de type poulie Koepe, avec son ascenseur, est conservée dans son bâtiment d'origine, transformé en salle polyvalente.

After the discovery of the coal mine in 1852 and the sinking of the Saint-Emile No. 2 shaft in 1855, the first coal extraction at Marles takes place in 1858, by the Compagnie des Mines de Marles. The surviving headframe, of small size, lattice beam type, dates from before 1914, the sole survivor of the destructions of the First World War. The extraction machine of Koepe pulley type, with its lift, is preserved in its original building, converted into a multipurpose hall.
