That's what I thought too :-) It's incredible how much the shoreline has grown out over the years. Any idea what that big black thing at right was? Another gasworks maybe?

It's the Alexandra Contagious Diseases Hospital apparently. I'd never heard of it before and there's very little info on the web.

No shit? It's shown on this 1941 map. Haven't been able to find any more recent references to it though.

Yeah, there used by a garbage dump between the Bonaventure and Alstom. My dad used to drive me home from Cité du Havre daily after school in the 70s and I can still remember the gases being burned off from beneath the STOLport.

There is still plenty of vent tubes all along the road south of Alstom in the technoparc! and the dump itself is constantly releasing toxic fluids in the river.
