Once upon a time - Belgium - Jumet Gohyssart (Hainaut / Henegouwen)

Motorcar 10000 on route Nº 66 on its way through the 'Borinage' the by that time still flourishing industrial (heavy industry) area around Charleroi and main source of income for a flourishing Wallonia (Belgium's French speaking part). The decline of that industry also meant closure of most tramlines. Wallonia prosperous in terms of economy and Flanders poor opposite today's situation.
