Printed postcard of the Route de Grenay at Les Brebis, the mining hamlet of Bully-les-Mines in the Pas-de-Calais coalfield of northern France. A substantial bourgeois red-brick villa with mansard roof and decorative tiling stands behind a long brick wall on the left; to the right rises a tall iron lattice water tower (château d'eau) on its skeletal steel frame, a functional landmark of the industrial mining community. A dirt road runs along the foreground, with a low outbuilding visible between the villa and the tower.
