One from a while ago; again! The "Tower" on the Northbound Services has remained abandoned since what is believed to be the late 90s; early 00s. It was interesting to be perched on top of an active Services which is a derp in itself tbh; it was hard to know where to go and the entire place is...

I visited this site on 17 Nov 25 as part of a wider visit to Charleroi. I was quite short of time so I only visited the cooling tower and some of the adjacent ancillaries. Parking was very easy (about 100m up the road) and it was pretty much a walk in with no signs of security. As I was on...
