About this Bruay-la-Buissière map poster
Bruay-la-Buissière is in the Pas-de-Calais, part of northern France's old coal basin. From above, it does not have a single centre. It is a patchwork of mining estates, known as cités, with repeated rows of identical houses and gardens. The small river Lawe runs through the town, and former slag heaps rise nearby as distinctive landforms.
The Nord-Pas-de-Calais mining basin is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and Bruay retains notable parts of that legacy. The Cité des Électriciens, a restored miners' housing estate, is now a heritage and cultural centre. The town also has an Art Deco swimming pool from the 1930s, a rare survivor of its kind.
A Bruay-la-Buissière map poster brings out the repeated geometry of the cités, block after block of parallel terraces. Around them, older roads and the winding line of the Lawe tie the pattern together. The result is an unusually rhythmic map, marked by industrial planning, that suits people interested in social history as well as design.

The Lawe
This small river flows through the town and adds a soft, curving line to a map otherwise dominated by planned housing blocks and straight roads.
Slag heaps
Former spoil tips from the coal mines rise near the town. On the map they appear as distinct, rounded forms, reminders of the landscape's industrial past.
