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!
The Partagas factory in central Havana is one of only 2 open to the public in the city. It is an original building constructed in 1845 and as far as I can tell hasn't changed much since then (think Dickens' workhouse and you get the idea of the inside).
Hundreds of men and women sit facing one direction rolling cigars. In the morning a reader reads them the newspaper over a loudspeaker and in the afternoon, part of a book. It takes 9 months of daily training to learn to roll a cigar. It is very complicated and quite a skill.
No photos inside were allowed. Shame. Definitely a highlight of our trip.
What appears to be an old factory? The red brick chimney looks Victorian in age. Saw this on the way home from Glasnevin cemetery.
This is one of the factories where fake food is made for display outside of restaurants. This particular factory is in Gujo-Hachiman. Spent entirely too much money at the shop...
Kensington, Philadelphia. In the past month, there have been 2 abandoned factories that burned to the ground. One taking the live of two firefighters. This on stands right next to the York-Dauphin El station.

Some Hero Factory figures on display - as I'm not into this stuff I don't know if these sets are new or not, but I promised I'd snap some pictures for people who are more interested than I am. Sorry it took me so long to upload them!

A pair of factory windows with arched brickwork inside the courtyard of the Newman Brothers Coffin Factory.
The building, which is Grade II* listed, was constructed between 1892 and 1894 to a design by Richard Harley for the firm. The Newman Brothers manufactured coffin furniture at the factory and remained there until 1999.
After hiking in Devil's Lake, we drove about 15 minutes to this awesome vegan restaurant. They used to be located in Wisconsin Dells (in an old cheese factory) but are now in Baraboo. The inside is beautiful, the staff is terrific, and the food was excellent. They have a lot of healthy meals on the menu and they're full of wonderful flavor. The desert case is amazing, as well!
Mike had the soup & sandwich special (black bean soup with chicken fingers sandwich) and I had the Fiesta Fajita bowl. Both were so delicious!

Part Of: Souvenir Photos of Port Hope
History: The Port Hope Harbour, at the mouth of the Ganraska River and Lake Ontario was the reason for the development of the Town. Early settlers built log, frame, and then brick structures close to the port for easy access to resources and travel. Several factories and business have made the harbour-front home in the past, including: Eldorado (now Cameco), and the Port Hope Sanitary Manufacturing Co.
