Antique #9 - Forgotten (color)

(best viewed in Large)

 

Once one of the many antique dealers of the famous Achterhoek antique route (largest in Europe).

This route goes from the city Doesburg all the way to Anholt (Germany), passing towns like Doetinchem, Gaanderen, Terborg, Ulft and Gendringen. It’s a popular site for tourists, mainly from Holland and Germany. According to a persistent rumour even popstar Michael Jackson bought his antique furniture here.

Nowadays many of these antique dealers quit their business or move elsewhere, often leaving the buildings in a very poor shape due to many years of neglect. This old factory will be demolished.
