Historique
Au 19e siècle, exploitation à ciel ouvert des gisements de la Pouëze, puis extraction souterraine à partir de chevalements de même type que ceux des houillères. Le chevalement de la Pouëze, mis en oeuvre en 1920, est d'un type très répandu avant la guerre de 1914.

History
In the 19th century, open-cast working of the Pouëze deposits, then underground extraction from the 1920s onwards using headframes of the same type as those of the coal mines. The Pouëze headframe, put into operation in 1920, is of a type very widespread before the war of 1914.
