Vermelles was the second extraction site used by the Compagnie des mines de Béthune.
Excavation of Mine 3 in Vermelles began in January 1857, reaching a rugged, steeply inclined deposit of coal at 147 metres (482 ft).
Extraction started in July 1860.
Air compressors were installed in Mine 3 1877.
This proved the company’s most productive mine, with a total of 1,525,000 tons.
Excavation of Mine 4 at Vermelles started in October 1865 and reached coal at 149 metres (489 ft). Extraction started in 1867.
Mine 4 was abandoned in 1876 because the very irregular deposit at 250 metres (820 ft) seemed unusable.
