Sorry, how silly of me to think you were trying to depict a street with
the title you gave it.
Maybe you should retitle it "old steel mill".
Most of the industrial buildings will be gone in a few years and I'm
trying to capture whatever remains of the days when the mills and coal
mines were the main features of this place
Then maybe you should be photographing the old steel mills & not houses on
a street & titling them accordingly.
I think if you're going to title an image it should somehow reflect what
you're trying to convey.
To me Rue Bordelais is about a street with houses on it and not a steel
mill, but what do I know?
I still like the original image no matter what you're trying to capture.
YMMV

Beg to differ. The steel mill in the background is at least as typical
for the place as the houses in the foreground. In fact, it's why I spend
most of my weekends in the area.
Most of the industrial buildings will be gone in a few years and I'm
trying to capture whatever remains of the days when the mills and coal
mines were the main features of this place. The mines have long gone
almost without a trace and the mills are now cold and dead. Only one
blast furnace remains in operation and that will also be closed in 3
years.
Nice little streets can be had all over Belgium. It's the mill in the
background that makes Rue Bordelais what it is.
