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.
This door was originally connects by covered walkway (now demolished) to the factory itself. You can see the outline of the roof on the brick. Also note the elaborate curved railings on the right side of the photo.
Once upon a time, Whitman was the home of the Regal Park Shoe Factory, and the making of shoes brought a great deal of money into the community. By the time I was old enough to wander the town, this was no longer a factory. Nowadays it houses a furniture store and a chuch of some kind.
The main factory floor is a giant structure that must have housed rows of machinery while it was still in operation.

Harbour fish sauce factory.
In this video you can see this activity among other activities in the harbour.
The smell was very hard to stomach, we had a hard time trying not to vomit.
Called "nam bplah" in Thai, or literally "fish water," genuine fish sauce is the water, or juice, in the flesh of fish that is extracted in the process of prolonged salting and fermentation. It is made from small fish that would otherwise have little value for consumption. This can either be freshwater or saltwater fish, though today, most fish sauce is made from the latter as pollution and dams have drastically reduced the once plentiful supply of freshwater fish in the heartlands of Southeast Asia.
For fish sauce to develop a pleasant, fragrant aroma and taste, the fish must be very fresh. As soon as fishing boats return with their catch, the fish are rinsed and drained, then mixed with sea salt – two to three parts fish to one part salt by weight. They are then filled into large earthenware jars, lined on the bottom with a layer of salt, and topped with a layer of salt. A woven bamboo mat is placed over the fish and weighted down with heavy rocks to keep the fish from floating when water inside them are extracted out by the salt and fermentation process.
The jars are covered and left in a sunny location for nine months to a year. From time to time, they are uncovered to air out and to let the fish be exposed to direct, hot sunshine, which helps "digest" the fish and turn them into fluid. The periodic "sunning" produces a fish sauce of superior quality, giving it a fragrant aroma and a clear, reddish brown color.
After enough months have passed, the liquid is removed from the jars, preferably through a spigot on the bottom of the jars, so that it passes through the layers of fish remains; or by siphoning. Any sediments are strained out with a clean cloth. The filtered fish sauce is filled into other clean jars and allowed to air out in the sun for a couple of weeks to dissipate the strong fish odors. It is then ready for bottling. The finished product is 100-percent, top-grade, genuine fish sauce.

The Paint Factory is a new facility which has just opened in the Industrial area of Micropolis near the airport. It specialises in supplying all the colours needed to decorate the buildings around Micropolis, which previously had to be imported from elsewhere. It should save lots of time and money!

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.
A spur of the moment shot, just running around waving my flashlight all over the place... The effect turned out better than expected!
