Key-board (Museum of Industrial olive oil production (Lesvos) (3))

Europe, Aegean, Greece, Lesvos, Agia Paraskevi, Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production, Storerooms (Bates), Key-board, (slightly cut from L & R)

 

Shown here is a vital element of the interior of the room of the gatekeeper of the storerooms. It’s the board where the keys to the bates (the storing compartments inside the storeroom buildings) were hung. Every farmer or growing cooperation had its own one. In these storage spaces, the olives were kept before processing

 

The history of the Olive press is here and here.

 

This is number 53 of the Lesbos album and 3 of Museum of Industrial olive oil production (Lesvos) one - which is part of the Factory, formerly collection.
