The era of sawmills II
This photo is from april 1970. In the middle of the 70:ies almost every smaller sawmill was closed. The era of sawmills was over. The same thing happened to the shipyards and the textile industri, the three pillars of the swedish industrial development since the middle of the 19:th century. (I forgot the iron mining and industry, but it has survived...)
My father got a job in a plastic pipe industry instead. Whatever he worked with it was killing him. First he cut trees in the woods with hand saws. Then this saw mill and finally the plastic industry with its chemicals and glues.
