The winding tower of Prosper-Haniel colliery !


After that the first photos were taken from the colliery's area, we now walk towards the top of the coal mine's slagheap on a beautiful footpath. On the way up we can take a closer look at the winding tower. Especially the winding tower's wheels can be seen very well in this photo. They are used for leading the winding ropes that come from the winding machine into the shaft.
