Hengelo, The Netherlands
The old factory of Hazemeijer Hengelo is located in the industrial heart of Overijssel, Hengelo. In the past, electric motors were made there. It buzzed with sound and activity for more than 100 years. The old former factory buildings have now grown into a fully-fledged event location.

Factory Butte is a desolate and beautiful area - I was there on Memorial Day Weekend (an American holiday honoring military personnel who died while serving in the US Armed Forces). I saw less than ten other people.
The butte was named by earlier settlers who thought it looked like the Provo Woolen Mill factory building.
My prior post was a close up of this landscape.
GPS is the exact spot of the photo :-)

One of the most popular quotes from the TV Peaky Blinders:- from Tommy Shelby: "I don't pay for suits. My suits are on the house or the house burns down."
I just love these cool Street Artists, which one can find around the urban streets of Digbeth, and once was known as Birmingham’s industrial quarter, Digbeth’s factory buildings have been transformed in recent years. Today, the area is a hub of culture and creative enterprise with galleries, nightclubs, pubs and restaurants waiting to be discovered.
It also has deep Irish cultural roots that date back to its foundation. In fact, Digbeth is often known as Birmingham's Irish Quarter.
And also, once a year the Peaky Blinder fans, have a festival to keep them alive!
Many thanks for your cool comments and compliments from you here, my flickr friends !!!
Łódź, Księży Młyn
The factory and residential complex on the Jasień River was built in the 19th century by Karol Scheibler, the richest industrialist in Łódź. It was a self-sufficient city within a city modeled on English industrial settlements. There were factory buildings here, e.g. a huge, castle-like spinning mill, warehouses, famuły (workers' houses), a school, a fire station, two hospitals, a gasworks, a factory club, konsumy (shops), owners' residences, as well as a railway siding. All this is planned along simple cobbled streets and architecturally coherent.
Das ehemalige Fabrikgebäude der Zigarettenfabrik Yenidze gehört zu den architektonischen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt Dresden. Das von 1908 bis 1909 gebaute Gebäude hat eine Gesamthöhe von 62 Metern und wird heute als Bürogebäude genutzt.
Yenidze is a former cigarette factory building in Dresden, Saxony, Germany built between 1908 and 1909. Today it is used as an office building. It is notable for its Moorish Revival exterior design which borrows design elements from mosques and the Alhambra in Spain.
When you see a strong blue tone to photographs, it could be that the photographer has taken advantage of the blue hour. That’s a time of day when the sun has just set or is about to rise, when the sky overhead takes on a deep blue color, and when the landscape is suffused with bluish light. The blue hour is a good time to take photos of the moon, because then the moon’s glare isn’t so bright in contrast to the sky.

I could subtitle this shot, "An elegy after Giorgio de Chirico".
In this photograph I tried to create the somewhat nostalgic and claustrophobic feel of many of de Chirico's early surrealistic paintings. The old water tower and purification plant stands against the sky which represents a lost past (or is it the future?). On the right hand side the wall of the newer factory building (which is also about to be demolished) is leaning in and creating that claustrophobic sense I was looking for.

Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.
Its historical boundaries were the waterfront (now Water Street and the CPR tracks), Columbia Street, Hastings Street, and Cambie Street, which were the borders of the 1870 townsite survey, the proper name and postal address of which was Granville, B.I. ("Burrard Inlet"). The official boundary[citation needed] does not include most of Hastings Street except for the Woodward's and Dominion Buildings, and stretches east past Columbia St., to the laneway running parallel to the west side of Main Street.

Building: Leckie Building
The lights and colours are constantly changing on this building in different shades of red, purple and blue.
The Leckie Building is a massive cubic seven-storey Edwardian era warehouse/factory building located at the southeast corner of Cambie and Water Street in the historic district of Gastown. Built in 1908 and a large addition to the east was constructed in 1913. Exterior: brick and granite. Internal structure: built of massive timber elements.
Gastown is the historic core of Vancouver, and is the city's earliest, most historic area of commercial buildings and warehouses.
The Leckie Building is representative of the importance of Gastown as the trans-shipment point between the terminus of the railway and Pacific shipping routes, and the consequent expansion of Vancouver into western Canada's predominant commercial centre in the early 20th century

Here we have an abandoned second hand shop with much of the merchandise simply left behind when the shop closed up for good over ten years ago. Calendars on the wall in the office read 2008. Housed in the old Wells Lamont glove factory building in Louisiana Missouri, this place was huge. It housed multiple dealers with a wide variety of merchandise. It even had a restaurant inside. The restaurant menu is still hanging above the order counter with it’s outdated prices. There is old stuff strewn about every where making it hard to see the places where the wooden shop floor has rotted through from a leaking roof. It is a dangerous place to explore. Be careful! Such are the shifting sands of business entrepreneurship. The price tags now are meaningless.
Norrköping is a beautiful city with an amazing waterscape, a well-preserved old industrial landscape. Spinning mills, cotton factories and a variety of other industries were established along the rapids of Motala Ström in the 17th century and onwards. It was water power from the river and the good harbour that made very rapid industrial growth possible. Especially the textile industry boomed, which is why Norrköping has acquired the nickname “Sweden’s Manchester”. The last thumping from the looms was heard in the mid 1970’s, and these days none of the impressive factory buildings are used the way they were intended. The city has put a lot of resources into preserving this area with beautiful walkways along the water and several interesting museums.
Museum of Technology Dessau "Hugo Junkers"
In the factory building from the 1950s, see gas engines, a calorimeter, the replica of the cargo, and passenger aircraft Junkers F13 and more. However, the attraction of the exhibition is a restored Junkers Ju 52.

The Toronto Carpet Factory Building on Mowat Avenue and its surrounding campus of industrial structures is an example of 1900s' turn of the century industrial architecture and currently houses a mixture of design, technology, media and marketing companies.
Built as a carpet manufacturing facility between
1889 and the 1920s. Ongoing restoration.

Born in England Chambers worked as a prolific marine and landscape painter in the United States between 1832 and about 1866.While Chambers often relied on print sources for his dynamic and brightly colored landscapes,View of Springfield Massachusetts,on the Connecticut River bears a remarkable resemblance to Thomas Cole's The Oxbow of 1836 flic.kr/p/E6e9jc.Cole presents a bifurcated landscape of wilderness and settled land,Chambers contrasts a dark industrial city of factory buildings with a white city of church spires and,across the river,a scene of cultivated fields, encapsulating many of the emotions of the national landscape.

Working woollen mill, formally making fine wool cloths for the clothing trade, now firing up the mechanisms for visitors, mainly on Bank holidays and “static” tours of the mill on other occasions. They still make some beautiful tartan cloths and high quality knitting wools. www.coldharbourmill.org.uk/
I lived near this mill as a child, when it was still in production and several children I knew had their first job here, or in other mills run by the same firm.

Architect: Frank Gehry
The factory hall designed by Frank Gehry is located behind the Vitra Design Museum and is similar in size to the neighbouring Nicholas Grimshaw building. The building contains production rooms, a showroom, the test centre, the canteen and offices.
This factory hall, built in 1989, is the first building Frank Gehry created in Europe.
A short time later, also in 1989, the Vitra Design Museum designed by Frank Gehry was built in the close vicinity of the factory building.
