Some things in life you just never forget and i count Cockery 'd Anderlues to one of them!
As you read this, dear visitor, there is probably not much left of the plant and that is just plain sad. Imagine... halls where you could
have a party of hunderd, secrets behind every stone and a place that feels like a worker can come around the corner any time. Imagine
to find the proof of the last strikes and the last active duty of the lab-analist.
As so many cockesplants in so many western contrys Anderlues sufferd the same fate as Zeebrugge, Marly and Tertre. Only she was the last to succomb.
No later but 2002 the last chart of cockes was weeled out and the ovens where cooled down. After years of trustful duty the sheer
teperature difference of 2000°C makes them crack and collapse within days, never to be heated again. The death of Anderlues was beautyful and emotional
recorded by Henk from "Abandonned places" (see "Links" for its link) and out of respect I am not going to try to do better. But I could not resist the
need to go there and see for myself. Maybe... just maybe i was the last visitor.
Cockery 'd Anderlues is gone... Long live the memory!
