Finally made it to Charbonage du Renard. For years it was on my list and even when I found the adres, I couldn’t make it until finally yesterday.
The entrance is easy. Just a little climb where you can hold you on the tree. Afterwards when we came out and past the terrain we saw a big whole in the gate so you can pass there)

Even the cars were trashed inside downstairs, when you came up and see that boat that they where making… it all makes it worth it.
One of the nicest places for photography.

Visit date   August 11 2020 at 20 hr
Visit duration   2 hours

First Visit: 11 August 2020 ca. 20 Uhr

Charbonnage du Renard - die alte Ford Werkstatt. Diese war die letzte Location an meinem ersten Tag in Belgien. Mit nur noch wenig Sonnenlicht erreichte ich das Gelände und musste leider feststellen, dass jeder Eingang auf dem Grundstück verschlossen war. Ich wollte schon wieder wegfahren, als mich ein Mann der im Ort wohnte ansprach und fragte, was ich hier zu suchen habe. Da ich es ja sowieso nicht geschafft hatte, sagte ich ihm mein ganzes Anliegen, dass ich wegen der verlassenen Ford Werkstatt hier sei und gescheitert bin. Zu meinem überraschen war er davon sehr begeistert und erzählte mir, dass er selber schon drinnen war, um Fotos zu machen. Daraufhin gab er mir den Tipp hinten durch den Wald zu gehen. Diese Chance ergriff ich sofort und schon war ich auf dem Gelände und erblickte die ersten Ford Trucks, die auf dem Hof standen. Aber dies, war noch nichts im Vergleich dazu, was ich drinnen zu Gesicht bekam. Nachdem ich durch einen extrem dunklen Gang ging, der voll mit Ersatzteilen gestapelt war, kam ich in die erste Halle und war sprachlos. Diese war vollgestellt mit alten Fords. Egal ob Capri, Granada oder Taunus, es war ein Traum für jeden Ford Enthusiasten. Selbst mehrere Fahrzeugtüren hingen in einem Nebenraum von der Decke hinab. Besser konnte es nicht mehr werden dachte ich, doch dann viel mir ein, dass über mir ja auch noch eine Etage ist. Diese übertraf noch einmal alles aufs neue, denn dort war die wahre Ford Sammlung. Nicht nur Autos, sondern auch Trucks standen hier wie vergessen beieinander und dass wohl schon seit einiger Zeit......

Als ich an mein Auto zurückkehrte, war ich erstmal sehr geschockt, denn ein Zettel war unter meinem Scheibenwischer angebracht worden. Ich machte mir Gedanken, ob mich wohl einer beobachtet hatte, wie ich auf das Gelände ging und ob es jetzt Konsequenzen für mich geben wird. Doch ich konnte aufatmen, es war mein Freund vom Anfang, der mir noch 3 weitere Location mit auf den Weg gab.

Second Visit: 11 August 2021 ca. 15 Uhr

Einfacher als beim letzten mal, fand ich diesmal den Weg auf's Gelände im Handumdrehen. Auf dem Gelände angekommen, wirkte alles noch verlassener und verfallener als im Jahr zuvor, was wohl auch an dem starken bewuchs der Pflanzen lag. Ich wählte den gleichen Weg ins Gebäude wie damals, doch dieser Plan ging schief. Den Eingang den ich letztes- und diesesmal wählte, wurde auf extreme weiße dicht gemacht. Es wurde eine riesige Stahltür in den Eingang hineingesetzt, doch diese wurde nicht nur verschlossen, sondern auch komplett zugeschweißt, sodass kein Eindringen mehr möglich war. Genervt davon, gab ich trotzdem nicht auf und suchte weiter. Ich ging um das gesamte Areal herum und wollte gerade aufgeben, als ich unter einem Gitter ein offenes Kellerfenster sah. Kaum hatte ich das Gitter oben, ging ein lauter Alarm los. Verärgert darüber wusste ich, dass ich nun schnell das Gelände verlassen musste, bevor mich hier noch einer entdeckte. Zügig lief ich zurück zu meinem Auto und hoffte, ich würde auf dem Weg meinen Vertrauten Freund wiedersehen, derjenige der mir hier letztes Jahr den Tipp gab und nicht weit davon entfernt wohnte. Doch meine Suche blieb erfolglos, ich konnte Ihn nicht mehr finden. Zu gerne hätte ich Ihn fragen wollen, was hier vorgefallen war. Es schien fast so, als hätte Ihn das verschließen der Ford Werkstatt genauso hart getroffen wie mich, weshalb er wohl auch von hier wegzog. Es ist und bleibt ein wahrer Jammer, dass dieser Ort jetzt nicht mehr zugänglich ist. Aber eines ist gewiss sicher, es ist eine Schande um die ganzen Fords......

Vandaag deze locatie bezocht. Na een klimmetje aan een boom kwam ik terecht op het terrein waar ik onmiddelijk enkele autowrakken zag liggen. Het was mij vooral te doen om de auto's die binnen staan maar vond jammer genoeg geen ingang tot de hal op de bovenverdieping. Ik zag ze staan door een deuropening. Wel was er toegang tot een keldergedeelte ook beperkt jammer genoeg had ik geen lamp mee. Wil graag morgen een nieuwe poging wagen om binnen te geraken want die zou er toch nog zijn ondanks alle deuren en poorten zwaar vergrendeld en afgesloten zijn. Iemand die mij kan helpen langs waar ik er toch kan binnen geraken aub? Alvast vriendelijk bedankt!!!

Onze eerste urbex ervaring was hier,
Als Leek wel wat zoekwerk gehad achter de locatie.
Eerst rond het pand gelopen, toen een ingang gevonden.
Er waren wel veel auto’s vernield, maar qua graffiti viel het enigszins nog mee.

This one was a bit of a disappointment. It took so long to find out the location and then in the end it was not as exciting as we hoped.
Fairly easy to get onto the grounds, yet a very annoying climb/crawl to get to where the magic happens. Or rather happened.
There are some nice old vehicles outside, but the nice and colorful ones are kept inside the building.
Someone must have recently done some effort to lock the building up, as the only way to get in was a tiny hole.
Inside it was pitchblack and dusty, not at all good conditions to get some decent shots in decent time.
Nevertheless, it was a nice visit, a little change to the ever reoccurring industry and farm visits.

Een autowerkplaats waar voornamelijk modellen van FORD werden gerepareerd, na dat de werkplaats is gesloten is het in de jaren die erop volgde veel vandalisme geweest dus is weinig van over. Toch de moeite waard om nog mooie plaatjes te schieten

Dieses Gelände war mal die Heimat einer Zeche, die ende der 60ger Jahre, den Betrieb eingestellt hat. Später hat sich dort eine Kfz-Werkstatt (Spezialisiert auf die Automarke Ford) niedergelassen. Mit den Jahren fing es dann auch bei der Werkstatt an, dass sie geschlossen. Seit der Schließung der Werkstatt verfällt dieses Goldstück immer mehr. Schade, viele schöne Fahrzeuge verotten jetzt.

Nog nooit auto’s gefotografeerd tijdens urbexen, dus het werd tijd voor charbonnage du renard. De overburen waren in de voortuin aan het werk en voor ons stopte een auto met 4 personen en die gingen door een gat in het hekwerk naar binnen. Dus wij maar het goede voorbeeld gevolgd. Dankzij een tip op zoek gegaan naar de kelder. Daar stonden inderdaad mooie exemplaren. Met het statief, een langere sluitertijd en wat bijschijnen met de zaklamp zijn de foto’s ook nog aardig gelukt. Buitenom was het een beetje vergane glorie allemaal. Al met al een leuke locatie en aangezien de overburen een uur later nog steeds in de voortuin bezig waren en bonjour zeiden, niet een locatie waar je snel gesnapt zult worden.

I have never photographed cars during urbexing, so it was time for charbonnage du renard. The neighbors were working in the front yard and a car with 4 people stopped in front of us and they entered through a hole in the fence. So we just followed suit. Thanks to a tip I went looking for the basement. There were indeed beautiful copies. With the tripod, a slower shutter speed and some shining with the flashlight, the photos have also been quite successful. Outside it was all a bit of past glory. All in all a nice location and supposed the neighbors across the road were still in the front garden an hour later and bonjour listed, not a location where you will be caught anytime soon.

Deze locatie is wel een must voor de auto (ford) liefhebbers.
Er is de laatste tijd wel wat vandalisme, maar je kan er nog steeds prachtige foto’s maken.

Je betreed het best deze locatie via het bos aan de achterkant of via een ladder aan de zijkant. Wanneer je in het gebouw zelf wilt gaan, moet je via de kelder naar binnen gaan. Alle andere ingangen zijn afgesloten naar mijn weten.
Er staan auto’s in de kelder en op het gelijkvloers.

Een leuke ervaring en foto’s die je kan maken!

Veel succes

this place looked to have been used by either a ford enthusiast ,or by a non-official ford garage
Apart of the two halls in which the cars were stored there is still the part that shows signs of the original use as part of the coal industry
