Looking back to the direction I came from. There was a similar opening in both ends of the building meaning that the wood simply passed through it.
A part of it could also be guided down to the basement, it seems.
Back when working in factories was still hard work.
Something has been operated from there.
Imagine sitting here all day.
There was a smaller room in one corner of the building.
Looks like some kind of a workshop. When something broke down here, the crew fixed it.
Belts and spare parts.
The company was known as Enso-Gutzeit until 1996, so the box is older than that. Who would have guessed.
More spare parts.
An old phonebook. Let’s have a closer look.
It is from 1976. That was a long time ago.
The company was founded in 1982 and went out of business in 2010. So the sawmill has been in operation in the 1980’s.
Names. Probably those of workers, because of what comes next.
Raimo has been replaced with Kalevi at some point.
So this is what Pekka looked like.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a part of the parts used in the machinery were manufactured here.
The replacement blades need replacement.
They used helmets back in the days? Advanced!
A very old beer bottle cap.
And the bottle itself. Back in the days I wouldn’t have been too surprised if the sawmill crew had been drinking on the job. It was common among construction workers even in the 1990’s.
But this is the end of the exploration. An untouched sawmill, which has been resting for almost 40 years. Quite a gem.
