The closer I got to the attic, the more of these leaflets appeared.
The attic was a large open space, which was surprisingly dark despite the numerous small windows.
The source of the grilling leaflets and other advertising material has been discovered.
More of the dull recipes dating probably back to the 1970’s. I still don’t find them very tasty.
Sausage commercials. It is starting to look like all the stuff left behind by the slaughterhouse was stored here in the attic, when the food wholesale company took over.
And more brochures. A museum would perhaps have been interested in these.
There are more shelves with files here. Quite a strange place to keep them, as it looks to me like the attic was cold.
And here we have a brochure about a renewed sliced ham product. It’s in Swedish, as is almost everything in the building.
There was also all kinds of pipes and machinery in the attic. I wonder, what thet big, green thing with the slaughterhouse’s name on it has been. I’ve found old photos from here, but at least in those that thing hasn’t been standing on the roof.
A very old desk with papers and lots of cardboard boxes.
A handwritten receipt for something from 1968. The entire archives of the slaughterhouse seem to have been preserved in the attic.
Cardboard boxes with the slaughterhouse’s name in Swedish and Finnish. The english version would be Osthrobotnian Meat. The name Atria, which also appears in several places, was the shared product brand of several local slaughterhouses around Finland. Eventually Atria became the name of the company to which all these smaller slaughterhouses have been merged into.
Slaughterhouse archives from the 1970’s.
The rescue authorities wanted to inspect the building back in 2008, as they feared that there was ammonia left in the cooling machines. The owner denied access.
