An industrial looking building in Jackson, Michigan. I don't think this place is still in business. I can't make out the painted sign on top.
Another view of the salt factory. I really liked the soft light and shadows on this dilapidated factory.

A lot of work is done by hand, but when it goes with shapping necks, it works a lot faster with a CNC machine. It does not prevent skilled craftsmen to fine tune the instruments once they come out...
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.
