This mill was remodeled from an early grist-mill, about 1846 or 1847, by Isaac Rowland, Jr. and later owned by C. Kilmer and Son,
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!

Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a. S.E.5 stood for Scout Experimental Five. It had a 200hp engine and a top speed of 138mph which is amazing when you think it was designed 13 years after the Wright Brothers first flew.

Light Bulb Factory
Bihar, India
A boy pulls light bulbs from a whirling centrifuge where injury is a constant threat. He works12-hours a day in a dimly lit factory. Bihar is one of the poorest regions in India and children who do not find work here are often trafficked or sold into servitude to work in neighboring districts like West Bengal and Orissa where they labor in brick kilns and gravel quarries.

Ventured inside the old factory to see what was around. We found some really cool places and took a few timelapses as well. Overall a really cool place for an abandoned explorer.

Attempted demolition of one of Nairn`s redundant floorcloth factories, Victoria Road, Kirkcaldy. In fact, this attempt failed, which was a big disappointment to all the spectators.
The people at Impossible Project held a open house and I was invited to join the tour of the factory. The place once employed 1200 people at the hight of the Polaroid days. Now just 36 people are the Impossible Project. All of them passionate, dedicated and giving their all to keep us Polaroid camera users happy with film. Daunting task and after the visit I have nothing but respect for people achieving the impossible.

This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!
Oskar Schindler's factory has been turned into a museum devoted to the wartime experiences in Krakow under the five-year Nazi occupation. It’s huge and comprehensive and I easily could’ve spent all day in there. If only I had enough time to do so!
Schindler is credited with saving almost 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunitions factories. While witnessing a 1943 raid on the Kraków Ghetto, where soldiers were used to round up the inhabitants for shipment to the concentration camp at Płaszów, Schindler was appalled by the murder of many of the Jews who had been working for him. After the raid he used all of his skills to protect his Schindlerjuden (“Schindler's Jews”), as they came to be called, by arguing that they were essential to the factory’s workload and thus the war effort. Schindler went out of his way to take care of the Jews who worked at his factory and treat them humanely.
