Schotte Tannery is a sprawling industrial site in Aalst, just north of Brussels. It was built in the 1930's and was used to condition, treat and tan leather on a large scale until 1998.
The site is in a wrecked state, but very photogenic and especially on the day that King Al and I visited. The most memorable features of the complex are a number of art deco staircases with massive skylights above, although there is a lot more to see than just these alone.
For anyone who is wondering, we didn't explore the neighboring 'Du Parc' textiles factory as we were both incredibly tired out and hungry!
