- Travelers in Time: France (Episode 05) Carreau Wendel
Dilapidated ruins contain history unseen by the public. As urban explorers, the forgotten draws us to rediscover what otherwise would just vanish. For almost 150 years, tunnels were dug here, and coal was produced. Parts of this massive mine could be preserved - but not all of it. In this video, we are exploring the neglected remains that are falling apart day by day. We time-traveled to a past when this place was defining the future of all of France. Join us to see what we have found! #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex

😮OMG for real!? 🤩🤩 Would be awesome!
Great video I loved it, I like the attention to the details and the fact that you tell us every step. Thank you❤️
The interior looks intact after the mine closed and slowly decay
Those prints are beautiful! Fingers crossed for me 😊
These "time travel" videos are certainly special. The history lessons are something that really sets this channel apart.
indeed!
This format is propably the best thing that has happened to the internet this year: Urbex and history and as always, a good soundtrack.
The passenger wagons originate from Paris and got a second life here to transport miners and I beleive they were intended for rides for the public when this site was turned into a full museum (it stil partly is as stated). All the wagons were on display at the site, but Covid and other reasons made the site as it is today. I still hope they will be saved, as it is something that was very important for our collective industrial history but is almost always scrapped and forgotten.
There is a locomotive workshed nearby which is stocked with preserved locomotives form the area, did you visit that part too?

Getting there was half the adventure! I would love to climb around these sights!! Coal , we ripped it from the bowels of the Earth, we tore down giant mountains to bring us where we are today!! The back braking work. Of so many ! Now these relics of our past will linger to remind us ! You guys really know how to bring romance to these places!!
I haven’t done much urbex myself considering I’m in high school and my parents aren’t too keen on me walking around dilapidated buildings. But in my small urbex experience, something I have toured are abandoned mine towns. There’s an abundance of them in the Western US and I find them absolutely fascinating. The danger, the tragedy…Mines are one of my favorites. Perfect video as always!
I love these industrial settings, they offer so many interesting compositions and contrasts for you to play with. It is in this type of setting that your skills and artistry get full play. The fact that you research and intercut historical images with the present gives a greater depth to what remains, and we are able to put it into perspective. Your work never disappoints. Stay safe out there…we don’t want to lose any of you, or what you bring to the record of what once was.🖤🇨🇦
Just bought my calendar! I don't care if it comes late. I'm just happy to support such an amazing channel. You guys have really been stepping it up lately! Love this style of video.
I've said it before; your videos are so intelligently narrated and so beautifully shot and produced I think you should pitch a series to the discovery channel.
I hope you guy's travel to the US at some point and capture the histories and mysteries of the many abandoned places scattered across the states such as Pennsylvania's Lynnwood hall. Many explorers have captured it's haunting grandure but none thus far have paid adequate homage to its history or that of it's original owner Peter Arrell Browne Widener, one of the wealthiest men in US history who not only allegedly helped fund the construction of the Titanic, both his son and his grandson perished when it sank.
No one could honor this phenomenal structure or it's former residents the way you can.
Thanks for everything you have brought us so far, you guys are the real treasures.
I've never been this early! Love from Sweden❤❤
Agree same here and also from Sweden 😉 thanks bwt for the video!
Nice, hope you like today's upload. What do you think about this mine?
@@bwturbex It looked really sketchy in some areas, i hope all of you explore with much caution wherever you go, but continue to document what is just left behind to decay into the forgotten.. Beautiful vido as always
What really gets me about the industrial places you explore is the silence, then imagining how unbelievably loud they would have been when they were in operation
It's so interesting to know that this was once a full-time resource for coal, only to be left abandoned in time. I think about all the workers who made a living in these dangerous facilities, and now it is just a part of history.
Its amazing how many people when you mention mining they think of just digging tunnels in the earth. They never consider the other buildings surrounding the process that goes with it. My husband works union. Back in 2012 my husband took a call for helping rebuild an old rare earths mine. He was not one of the minors. His job was helping build the massive piping system that ran through the various facilities through out the whole compound. It was a good job until China flooded the market with rare earths from their own mines at such a low price that it was not longer profitable to run the mine. As for the calendar. I am in no hurry to get it. I will be happy to have it when it arrives. Stay safe out there guys.
Beautiful and educational!
The consistency of high image and motif quality in BWT videos (in this case short film seems more appropriate) is second to none - and I follow channels of high quality "competition". And now you added another layer with more in depth historic informations on the subject, much more detailed than what we're used to see and hear in the Urbex world. Just fantastic!
As far as I'm concerned, I would love to see another mining facility being covered. Industrial monuments often produce the greatest images - got to be lucky with the daylight as well, though. This one here was sublime. 👌
So sad to see this place setting empty and all the jobs lost. It seems as though this world has definitely lost touch with its industrial Heritage and respect for it. Thank God you guys are here to capture these places . You guys are right the view from these windows are AMAZING !! So many bright vivid Colors here !! It's funny how the roofs are in such good condition .That's cool that there is a museum in remembrance though. The pictures of when it was in operation is really something !! There were steel mills that had this type of basket system and their locker rooms it was really quite ingenious. Look at you guys sneaking through those wormholes to get to those Coal Cars !!! This was GREAT guys I loved it !! Where ever you go next is fine with me !!
Always a worthwhile expertly filmed exploration is Broken Window Theory!
It was so much fun to climb inside this death trap, haha.
@@bwturbex Every Step of the Way!
Hi Till and team. Thank you for another wonderful production. I live in Newcastle in Australia which has a long history of coal mining. From where I live I can walk to the sites of two previous coal mines within about fifteen minutes.
I was employed by a company that manufactured equipment for use in underground coal mines. From memory I have been down somewhere in the vicinity of twenty five underground mines.
Newcastle is apparently the largest coal export port in the world.
Keep exploring and stay safe.
Wow, this team is so brave. True urban explorers and true warriors.
Thank you for filming these areas! We don’t often think about what has to happen to support our daily living! I live in Pennsylvania in the US where there was a lot of mining. Most structures have been dismantled. Your video was very interesting!
I sold pumps and equipment, for European coal- and iron/copper mines, starting back around 2005. It was very interesting business, and I always loved to see the sunshine again, when we got back above ground ☺️ With coal being faced out in Germany, I wonder how all the former miners, will get their income. Maybe, it will look as bad, as the UK in the 80`s. Much as we all would like to use non-polluting energy, there will always be a need for coal / minerals. But we now we let it be mined in Asia (under horrible safety and environmental conditions), and then sailed all to way to Europe. Its a shame, that the nuances in all of this, have been lost. Apart from this negativity, sorry, great explore from you guys - as always 👍👍👍
WOW best documentary yet.... Outstanding beginning of the show... phenomenal
Great show! I love seeing mine surface works like these. Some quick comments: the coal washing process (starting around 8:23-9:32 in particular) appears to be using "froth flotation." The process revolutionized industrial processes of all kinds, starting with hard rock mineral mining, from the early 1900s forward. That's worth an entire study in itself. A couple ball or pebble mills appear to be present near the flotation mill and periodically reappear in your footage, including 10:54. The rotary rail car dumpers at 22:30 are sometimes called "tipples." Looking forward to seeing more facilities like this in your future episodes.
Another window to the past that once was! Its amazing the industries that we had and how the future is changing everything now. Great video and great format too.
I really enjoy your videos, I do worry about some of the risks you took exploring this mine site, please remember no video is worth someone being hurt. Please take care guys and thanks for another great video.
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and everytime you guys always surprise me with better urbex explorations! Keep up the good work and thank you ❤
Such amazing footage! I am glad you guys were able to document the colliery. It brings back some good and bad memories. My father, uncles, and grandparents worked in coal mines. Several lost there lives in the mines and my father had health problems due to mining which he finally succumbed to. A great video, but a bit sad for me.
Greetings from Upper Silesia. My great-grandfather worked in a mine in France in the 1920s. I don't remember the name of the mine or the places where he worked in France. He said that during a break from work in a mine in France, the miners received chocolate and wine. Before the Second World War, he returned to Upper Silesia. During the war he was a Wehrmacht soldier. After World War II, he worked at the Anna Mine in Pszów. He died around 1980. My great-grandmother was receiving a pension from France, paid in dollars from my great-grandfather
da habt ihr mal wieder voll abgeliefert ! mega Location, klasse Videoschnitt und viele Hintergrundinfos ich weiß schon warum ich euren Kanal immer wieder gerne weiterempfehle
amazing shots, love your work, guys, amazing job
This one gave me the creeps just about the entire time. It was like being inside a giant silent sarcophagus that was decaying all around! A man made hell. Great video as always tho!
You have really stepped up your production & it really helps "us" with all the research to come for the "ride" & be immersed with you!!!! TY much respect, be well all of you.
WOW WOW WOW ! Merci chers amis allemands. J'ai visité plusieurs fois le bassin houiller lorrain mais jamais ce lavoir. Je suis captivé du début à la fin. Merci pour ce témoignage unique et précieux ! C'est génial ! Bravo ! MERCI ! 😍
again another amazing vid with very interesting history and great artwork. much appreciated. thanks!
Massive place with so much interesting things.
Thx for this great explore.
And congrats for +300k subscribers ... think i missed it earlier.
Epic as always. Always look forward to y'all's be vids
Completely understand about the calendar delay. I'm still looking forward to getting mine here in the US, whenever it arrives. Thank you as always for the quality content. Cheers
Yet another really well done video, you guys are doing good work here, thanks!
Another great video guys, thanks! Please do keep sharing these bigger industrial complexes, there is so much to see, it's a true visual feast 😃👍
This is such a gigantic place, I’m amazed you could find your way back out again. I love the snippets of old videos you found and added in. I wondered how that system of hanging baskets for clothing worked. Awesome! Great exploration and history lesson guys. Merry Christmas to you all!
I'm just watching quietly alone here but I can't help myself murmuring "ouhhh! Be careful" 😅.
Again, it's a satisfying film. And ones curiosity added a beauty in it. I've been daydreaming and imagining the pristine condition of the wrecks/ruins everytime... Its kinda overwhelming and at the same time, gives me a hint of pain...
Thanks, Krizel! In a few hours we will post our next video. Unfortunately, it's a dangerous exploration again. 🎅🏼
Absolutely love your videos guys. Cheers from Las Vegas!
🔥🔥🔥 always great content. Awesome video
Great explore gentalman and lady! Thanks for sharing your adevnture with us.
Amazing.footage.marvelous
Urbex meets parkour... BWT crew leveled up on this exploration! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Stay safe and healthy.
Haha, we would not call this parkour but thanks!
great one guys
!
Brilliantly done!
Stay true you guys!🌠
Another amazing video, thank you for having for having this old woman along!
There are many coalmine museums in the North of England. Hats off to the miners they worked extremely hard in sometimes a dangerous job.
My grandmother's family worked in a tin mine in Redruth Cornwall it was a hard life with poor pay.
Einfach nur wow, wenn ich das mit meinem Video vergleiche ist das hier einfach ein anderes Level! Richtig coole shots und super erzählt ;)
Liebe Grüße!
I like this video format with no music, just the sound of footsteps. The music was here, but not too much.
Mensch, this was very interesting ! I grew up in this region and the way you presented this place is well made, with the archive images and the research that is a great documentary
Looks like a wonderful place, nice video
Very interesting and invocative.
Very interesting exploration and lots of research and knowledge to fully describe the facility - and even some films. Thanks for your hard and dangerous work to show us this marvel of industrialization.
*_Ganz tolles Video wieder von euch, die Stimmung eurer Videos sind einzigartig. Weiter so_*
Those railway cars at the start are (or were) likely property of a railway museum being stored at the old mine to keep them out of the weather in an attempt to save them, maybe for some possible future restoration or just for parts.
Abandoned industry interests me. I love the quiet atmosphere of these huge halls and big machinery with their muted colors of faded paint, rust and grime, so yes, please upload more old coal mines and steel furnaces.
Cool, thanks for the info! Seems like they failed with saving these railway cars. Too bad!!!
awesome video thanks
I will patiently wait for my calendar. No worries, happy to wait for it.
At least, the test calendar finally arrived.
cool abandoned places!
Großartig! Richtig toll gefilmt und schön erklärt. Das Ding schaut allerdings schon übelst gefährlich aus O.o
Realy enjoy the video's, great team and great adventures. Not only that but even the history behind the place, by talking/text/video and must be a lot of wordk before it's on RUclips. My respect for all of you, love the work and if i can i will look at the for something special to buy. Greetings from the Netherlands, Jennifer 👌😉
nicely done
Very nice and interesting explore! Enjoyed it! :)
U already done watching? We just posted it and it's 30 min long, haha.
@@bwturbex I was almost to the end and went ahead made a comment.:)
Without a link to the past, we have no link to the future. More please.🙂
Nice one.
so awesome !!!!!!!!!
Hi, amazing exploration, I enjoyed it so much.
What a fear of the height of the building 😳
I love your work, greattings from Brasil 🌹🇧🇷
Congratulations guys🤗, and Sasha 👏👏👏👏
Awesome thx
Ich war auch vorkurzem in dieser Mine ! Echt beindruckend ! Und ein richtig gutes Video !
Interessante Tour. Glück Auf aus dem schönen Oberharz. ⚒
interesting exploration
Dude, I do historical journalism as well, mixed with urbex, but damn, this editing is history channel level. Leave RUclips for the ametures eh?? Haha
Superschön dokumentiert. Leider aber auch sehr gefährlich. Ich habe noch nie gesehen, dass Gitterrosten einfach so durchgerostet sind. Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen und Mitmehmen!
Loved the video... rules of climbing are universal, always be holding on to something and most importantly don't fall! The still of the unload bay is awesome.
Simple rules but good ones.
Enjoy all of your guys RUclips videos Stay safe and sound MERRY Christmas 🎄🎁 and Happy New Years to each and every one of you.
great job.
Thx for watching.
Die Stille dort ist beeindruckend. Wenn man sich vorstellt, wie viel Lärm dort früher gewesen sein muss. Und diese Kletterei...😱 Ich kann manchmal gar nicht hingucken 😂
Servus , wieder ein hervorragendes Video , Super recherchiert , LG KaleunU96
Sehr cool. Bitte mehr Bergwerke.
A gain a very interesting explore, i love too see these places but this one is almost unsafe too visit by now.
спасибо за видео 😊
What always baffles me is how much value remains abandoned. In this case, the steel alone would buy me a mansion and so much more...
I've seen it first hand, as my first employer went bankrupt. I was working in the analytics department of a chemical plant. The room was filled with identical analytical devices and there were plenty of cupboards filled with chromatography columns for HPLC. At a University, you have usually only one such device and maybe three different columns per work group as they are all blinking expensive!
Now, stuff worth millions is allowed to rot! I wouldn't be surprised if some Ph.D.s would like to loot it for their projects. LOL.
One thing I'd be curious, but I haven't heard of what happens is the fate of all stored chemicals. Some could be sold off for good prices, but others would cost a small fortune to be disposed correctly and we got literally tons of them! They can't stay there because their containers were already rusting through when the company was still in business...
How do they seal the shaft?
It looks perfect from outside but inside the interior of the mine is slowly turn into rusty dust
the one picture on your calender of the tall glass odd shaped building... I never miss your videos but I don't remember that one. might be just cause I'm old lol
Hey there Carol! We haven't posted any video from this place. That's why you couldn't remember. 👻
@@bwturbex oh good! so my memories still intact lol
My maternal grandfather immigrated to the States from Poland (though at the time of his Baptism, it was considered ‘Ukraine’). My maternal great grandfather immigrated shortly after my grandfathers birth to the 🇺🇸, 1st in NY to earn enough to bring his wife and youngest son (my g-pa) to America.
He worked as a laborer in coal plants, iron foundry’s, and other such work he could find. 5yrs later & he was able to cover the expense for my great g-ma & g-pa.
My grandpa did similar work, but working hard, saving by living frugally, my grandpa & grandma (she was born in 🇺🇸, though her parents immigrated from Poland (she spoke Polish & he spoke Ukrainian-> both spoke English) was able to purchase a home & saw both of their children graduate University.
Guys, equip yourselves with gloves when exploring these type of rusty places. You do not want to get cuts from rusty surfaces. Great content and photo shots btw.
Ein sehr geiles Video! Besser könnte es nicht sein. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die detaillierte Beschreibung in das Gebäude zu kommen. Da der Ort weiterhin existiert wird es viele Nachahmer geben, die diese Informationen nutzen. Da hättet ihr etwas verdeckter sein können.
Danke dir!!! Wer in das Gebäude rein möchte, schafft es mit oder ohne unsere Anleitung. Wir haben wohl den kompliziertesten Weg gewählt. 😹 Im Grunde kommt rein und sogar auch hoch ohne Probleme oder klettern.
Wow this is super cool. mining at nowdays, no longer looks like this. most of them are too stingy to spend money to build something like this, so they use a third party for coal processing, so that made the production cost is cheaper than you build your own processing plant. I understand very well why the current mining is not like this, because they are required to do the reclamation of ex-mining land, so the company doesn't want to waste money on building something that it has to dismantle when the mining activity is finished.
Watching from Disney World
Where is this at?
I have worked with carbonate d France cdfi company miners at khottadih coalmine at westbengal india during 90 to93.they took Longtail power support and many machines. They produced 8000t a day.even 1lost life even.i still remember Mr drought.prest.metz.very efficient they were.
Due to greed of chaturvedi my dixit majumdar total Longtail set collapsed with 4fatality.only ignoring mining rule led to the accident.mine lost billions. But guilty were promoted in coal india.
olá até q não esta tão abandonada pq ta tudo lindo no exterior
Today: The Broken Window Theory workout for keeping fit.
💪 Urban explorer workout routine
where can I find the guitar music at 23:00,
We always post the soundtrack of our videos in the video description.
It’s a shame when you think about all the time and effort it took to design, engineer, and construct all of this machinery, and other infrastructure, just to have it inevitably abandoned. Though it’s pretty amazing when you consider everything their product enabled to be created, and accomplished that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.
Just goes to show how important it is that you plant and regrow plenty of coal, so you’ll always be able to replace what you need to mine. Oh, wait...🤔
