Keith and I visited the Bush's Bean Factory and museum in Chestnut Hill, TN. It is literally in the middle of nowhere and was a fun tour -- learned a lot about the history of the company, and of grocery stores, in the tour they gave!

Cascades Female Factory
The Cascades Female Factory, a former Australian workhouse for female convicts in the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, is located in Hobart, Tasmania. Operational between 1828 and 1856, the factory is now one of the 11 sites that collectively comprise the Australian Convict Sites, listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO.
Collectively the Australian Convict Sites represent an exceptional example of the forced migration of convicts and an extraordinary example of global developments associated with punishment and reform. Representing the female experience, the Cascades Female Factory demonstrates how penal transportation was used to expand Britain's spheres of influence, as well as to punish and reform female convicts.
Now operational as a museum and tourist attraction, the site is managed by the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority.
History.
The Cascades Female Factory was purpose-built in 1828 and operated as a convict facility until 1856. It was intended to remove women convicts from the negative influences and temptations of Hobart, and also to protect society from what was seen as their immorality and corrupting influence. The Factory was located, however, in an area of damp swamp land, and with overcrowding, poor sanitation and inadequate food and clothes, there was a high rate of disease and mortality among its inmates.
The Cascades Female Factory is the only remaining female factory with extant remains which give a sense of what female factories were like. It is included on the Australian National Heritage List. It was inscribed on the World Heritage list in July 2010, along with ten other Australian convict sites.
Today the Cascades Female Factory Historic Site comprises three of the original five yards. It is open every day (except Christmas) and offers a range of tours.

Massive former Brake Linings factory on the outskirts of Caernarfon. Opened in 1961, it once employed 1,0000 men. Now it is a derelict wreck awaiting demolition.
Visited this slate factory on my last day in and around Luxembourg. There used to be a slate quarry nearby and in this factory they worked with the slate to make rooftiles.
It has been abandoned for years, but still a lot of old machinery to see.
Visited this location in September 2011.

couldn't stand the temptation to make some artistical shots while being on a business visit at Nowa Huta, Krakow
Years of changes show in the windows of D&D shoe factory, Mayfield, Ky. Formerly the Merit Pants factory.
I've noticed this building for years and have always been struck by it's angular, fastidious exterior. It looks to me like the factory where other factories are made.

Disclaimer: The photo albums in this Flickr account are not intended to be collections of my best hand-picked images. Such images are included but the vast majority of images, 6250 and counting, commingled amongst the few gallery-worthy images, are snapshots, bad shots and missed shots (the bad shots containing some element of the composition that strikes my fancy despite its flaws thus saving it from the Recycle Bin and the missed shots being those photos where the exposure and/or DoF were not completely appropriate). There is trip documentation and there are pure experiments (including multiple treatments of the same scene such as different angles, different post processing, different times of day, sunrise/sunset progressions, zoom progressions, etc.). This account is basically a secondary backup location with convenient captioning, titling & EXIF capabilities.
