I have photographed this factory site several times over the years but still find it interesting, must be the smoke stacks.
Wah Tea Factory, Palampur, Kangra Valley , Himachal Pradesh.
The saying "Tea is another name for happiness" emphasizes the association between tea and feelings of joy, comfort, and well-being.
"Wah Tea Estate in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, was established in 1857 by the British. It has a rich history of continuous tea cultivation, even surviving the 1905 earthquake. The estate was later acquired by Sir Sikander Hayat-Khan, who named it after his birthplace, Wah. In 1953, the Chaiwala family took over, and the estate is now managed by the third and fourth generations of the family, Deepak and Surya Prakash, as stated on The Lodge at Wah. "
Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, KBE (5 June 1892 – 26 December 1942), was an Indian politician and statesman from the Punjab who served as the Premier of the Punjab, among other positions.
Principal frontage of the former Aladdin Lamps factory built in 1931. After the factory closed, the main manufacturing area was demolished and the offices incorporated into a B&Q superstore. This has now closed too.
I see a big extendable crane with 'nibbler' head has moved in to eat away at the last part of the Dunn Gray Biscuit Factory. Sad. This stairwell has been demolished already. Creeping alone around its vast warren of floors, wings and rooms was fun and took a little working out over several trips.
The factory was established in 1876 in McPherson Street, Casterton, which is still its present site, by Ben Jeffreys using bottling equipment shipped out from England. He operated it until 1903 when his two sons took over, adopting the trade name "Jeffrey Bros". In 1946 Mr Bill Young purchased a third share in the firm and held it until 1956 when he sold it back to the Jeffreys family.
Graeme Jeffreys, a grand-son of Ben Jeffreys, then joined the firm making this the third generation of Jeffreys to be associated with the business. He originated the sales name "Big J" and introduced a 30oz bottle using his grand-father's initials "B.J". The firm remained in the family until 1969 when it was purchased by Messrs. Phillips and Johnson, who up until the present time [1973] still trade under the name of Jeffreys Bros.
Jack Phillips and 'Kiwi' Johnson also purchased the Portland Aerated Water Company and 'Kiwi' moved to Portland to run the business whilst Jack Phillips remained in Casterton to run Jeffreys Bros. Jack was a former Casterton policeman.
Went on a delightful tour of the Taza chocolate factory in Somerville this afternoon - very informative with plenty of samples along the way.
Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Páramo Ecosistema
Las alturas van desde 2.500 hasta 3.600 m.s.n.m. Alta humedad y viento seco. Son considerados fábricas de agua. La vegetación predominante son los frailejones, guardarocÃos, macollas y musgos, entre otras.
En la franja de alta montaña tropical, por encima de los 3.000 metros, comienzan los pajonales y frailejonales abiertos: el paisaje que le da su identidad al páramo. La mayorÃa de especies de frailejón están cubiertas de un suave vello que las protege de los drásticos cambios climáticos. Muchas plantas del páramo pueden absorber hasta 40 veces su peso en agua. El humus negro, especialmente el de las turberas, posee hasta un 98% de agua. La mayorÃa de las estrellas hidrográficas del paÃs se generan en áreas de páramos.
Solamente media docena de paÃses en el planeta tienen el privilegio de contar con ecosistemas de páramo. Colombia no solamente posee la mayor superficie de páramos en el mundo, sino también la mayor cantidad de páramos independientes. En Colombia se encuentra el 98% de las especies vegetales de páramo que existen en el mundo.
Los páramos son sumamente importantes para la generación y regulación del agua, a la vez que contribuyen a la regulación climática gracias a su capacidad de absorber gas carbónico.
Factory Butte is an incredible landscape in Southern Utah. It's not in a national park and sadly the BLM has reopened the ground up to Offroad Vehicles. There are several OHV opportunities in the area adjacent to this area so I don't understand the need for opening this particular area up. I do understand that off-road recreationalists probably have a different opinion and respect that but do believe in the value of protecting our lands.
