Construction year edit

I originally wrote 1898 based on translation of fr:Tour à plomb. But then I found it as 1885 at nl:Lijst van beschermd onroerend erfgoed in Brussel. There might be more information at its entry in [1]. DMacks (talk) 20:43, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Indeed 1898, from http://erfgoed.brussels/links/register/register-van-het-gevrijwaard-erfgoed-in-het-brussels-hoofdstedelijk-gewest-lijst --Dominique Meeùs (talk) 07:25, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Chronology (before or after 1832) edit

We have in English (as in Dutch): 1832 gunpowder → 1898 shot tower. But in French, we have: was gunpowder (older) → 1832 lead industry → 1898 shot tower. The reference is hard to find. --Dominique Meeùs (talk) 07:18, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
