Historique

Sur les atlas communaux datés de 1808 et 1841, l'actuelle « rue Henri Vandermaelen » n'était encore qu'un modeste sentier piétonnier, connu sous le nom de « Kapellevoetweg ». Ce chemin traversait des pâturages et longeait un terrain désigné comme le « champ derrière la chapelle », également appelé « Veld achter de Capelle ». Ce paysage rural, typique de l'époque, ne commence à se transformer qu'à partir de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, avec l'apparition progressive de quelques constructions éparses.
