Walking towards the far end of the attic. The previous time we got about this far. For some reason or another we didn’t go further.
Something heavy must have been located here, as it has been attached to the floor.
That’s an interesting looking hole.
I’m not quite sure where it leads to, but I suspect the large room with the white, tiled walls seen in the beginning.
There was also an interesting wooden shaft, which ran horizontally to the next section of the building.
Not the best of shots. The roof has started to give in here, too.
This area is directly above the first room I entered in this building. There’s a lot of hay on the floor and something, which looks like transport cages. They didn’t fit a large animal, so maybe they were for poultry.
The strange shaft continues here.
There as also a large collection of old windows in here, but this area didn’t look very interesting. Let’s have a look at the papers found in the attic instead. I promise, that there is a surprise in there.
Nothing special here. Just a third or fourth different version of the recipe booklet.
How to cook good pork on a pan, in a cauldron, in the oven and in the grill.
Age old meat inspection cards, which refer to a law about meat inspection, which dates back to 1922. A new law was passed in 1960, so these are really, really old.
Another light sign.
Guide booklets about the classifications of animal carcasses.
And finally this. This has to go down to one of the craziest discoveries I have ever found in an abandoned building.
These are handwritten receipts for construction materials. One is for white cement, the other one for 9 inch cement pipes, and so on. They date back to 1946 and 1947.
The building was built in 1946. If I add 1+1 correctly, it means that these are receipts for the construction materials used in this very building, and they have been here for the entire life of 75 years, that this building has experienced.
They had been stored in tiny boxes like that. As they had stood for years next to an open window, it was a miracle, that they were still here for me to photograph.
Pork for the holidays, the poster says. Just look at all the ways they have advertised.
So, that was the attic. I’ve now explored the taller section of the building almost completely. What is left is the ground floor, which has its own entrances and is not accessible from this area of the building.
