The art of jade carving and polishing was already well developed some 3,000 years ago in the Zhou and Shang dynasties. With its bright and pure luster, jade has always been considered by the Chinese to be a treasure of tremendous value. There is a famous story from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) that describes the State of Qin' s offer of 15 cities for a ceremonial jade disk known as the "Bi of the He Clan."
To create an object from a piece of raw material, the craftsperson follows these steps: 1) Select the stone (jadeite, coral, agate, or crystal), taking into consideration size, shape, grain, color and luster. 2) Design a pattern to be sketched onto the surface. 3) Rub away the stone with a special tool and diamond paste until the desired shape emerges. When the design follows the nature of the original piece, the true image will come to life. 4) Polish the product until it shines.
The Beijing Jade ware Factory, founded in 1958 with only 200 workers, now employs over 2,700. In the past four decades it has turned out a wide range of exquisite jade objects for sale around the city.

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.
Staff in the modern B&D factories would find these old shots amazing. We've streamlined a little since then ;)

Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 - Nick-named the ‘Harry Tate’ after a music-hall comedian, this inherently stable reconnaissance/artillery spotting aircraft entered limited service in late 1916, and 4,077 were built, of which just two originals survive, one in Belgium – the Belgian Air Force had some 22 examples with Hispano-Suiza engines from July 1917. After rectification of the tendency of early production aircraft to spin, as the RFC/RAF’s most widely used type of Corps reconnaissance aircraft from 1917, it served with some 21 Squadrons, and as well as the Western Front. R.E.8s operated in Italy and Palestine, and, finally, in Egypt until November 1920.
This flying replica, in No. 9 Squadron colours, was also built in New Zealand by TVAL in 2011, using original RE.8 rudder, wing and fuselage parts held by the RAF Museum as patterns. These parts of an unidentified airframe were found in a Coventry garage in 1966 and recovered by the Northern Aircraft Preservation Society. Presented to the RAF Museum the following year, they remain in store with the museum. Although not forming a complete aircraft, they are a precious research tool, as are sizable contemporary D.H. 10 Amiens and Handley Page 0/400 and V/1500 bomber aircraft parts also held in store by the museum. This replica was flown extensively in New Zealand and the UK in 2012 before moving to Hendon for static display in 2012.
A surprisingly well conserved factory. There was also an amazing library full of books, catalogs, art, radiocassettes...that was separated from this report for it's greatness. Three floors awaiting to be explored.
The disused Bata shoe factory which was the focus of the 1930's development of the 'Bata-ville' of East Tilbury. The factory mirrors the modernist Eastern European aesthetic of the rest of the town - although this functional uniformity is threatened by works planned for the Thames Gateway redevelopments.
