A new town, new adventures. I met an old friend of mine, who has also become an urban explorer, and she told me about a location, which almost certainly was accessible.
This here is an early 20th century carpenter’s workshop, which according to its name, mainly manufactured furniture. It went out of business in 2004.
The town announced in 2019, that it wants to demolish the building. So far this hasn’t happened because they have a whole lot of other places to demolish, but very little funds for that.
The main entrance was well closed, but my friend said, that we would have no difficulties getting in.
And indeed there was a way in through the basement. As I wasn’t alone this time, I gladly accepted this form of entry.
Although it wasn’t very dark or damp in the basement, it still wasn’t one of my favorite places.
Also it was really just mostly a large open space and not very interesting.
The ceiling was very low and in some parts of the building it was in a very bad condition.
Random and very old furniture. Judging by their position, they had been thrown down the stairs.
The basement wasn’t a very nice place, so we headed straight up.
The stairs ended right to a large room above the basement. It was probably the main production space.
The production space to the other direction was full of what looks like old school tables and stuff. We didn’t go deeper into this area as we had seen the floor from underneath.
Old woodworking benches.
A box of photographic paper. There were several photography related things in the building, which gives some hints that a part of it might have been used by a photographer at some point.
A narrow corridor running parallel to the main facade facing the street, which is to the right. Company offices, maybe.
The first of the rooms by the corridor.
Actually looks like an old storage room. But the number of photographs is pretty surprising. I once again suggest that a photographer has used this location.
An old Benetton catalogue?
The second room was once again full of photographs and other papers. Let’s have a closer look at them in the next post.
