Old Hemp Factory, used to work on water power. It used to make ropes and textile. Before the Second World War Edessa was called "Manchester of the east" because of it's textile industry. The Germans destroyed most of the industry in the war. After the war water power was not important anymore and the industry languished.
Deze hennepfabriek werkte op waterkracht en fabriceerde textiel en touw. Voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Edessa wel het "Manchester van het oosten" genoemd, vanwege deze industrie (in Nederlandse termen wellicht het Twente van Griekenland). Tijdens de Duitse bezetting werd een flink deel van de stad vernietigd, inclusief de fabrieken. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog nam de betekenis van waterkracht af en de industrie kwijnde weg. De fabriekshal op de foto is deels een café restaurant geworden, in het grootste deel van de fabriekshal staan de oude machines nog (weer?) opgesteld. Het heeft een museale functie en is vrij te bezoeken. Ik vond het een absolute aanrader, maar dat kan je ook wel zien aan de hoeveelheid gemaakte foto's!

I don't think we appreciate the Industrial Revolution enough. You hear it over and over again, but you need a global and historic perspective to understand the ludicrously rapid advancements that took place during that time. So much of the foundation of our daily lives began to take shape at the turn of the 20th century.
Europe has ancient cathedrals and medieval castles. America has rusted factories with blown out windows. We don't pay these sites very much attention. I think in part because of the sadness that they hold. These places are reminders of the horrible unregulated working conditions and also the fact that "we used to make shit in this country". Sometimes it's easier to look away until we can stare and realize the significance.
I will soon be re-watching The Wire -
Frank Sobotka: You know what the trouble is, Brucey? We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket.
Frank Sobotka: For 25 years we've been dying slow down there. Dry docks rusting and piers standing empty. My friends and their kids like we got the cancer. No life line got thrown all that time. Nothing from nobody. And now you want to help us? Help me?
These are factories converted to apartments. They were the companies that started Omaha. they are across from the Durham Museum.
