The Heart Of The New Village

After the second world war, a new village with a new steel factory was founded. Of course all the infrastructure with worker apartments, a school and business buildings was built. The steel factory became small, was closed and the village slowly started to die.

This is the co-operative store and post office of the village. Looks like it has been shut down decades ago.

The building has slowly started to collapse.

Every opening seems to be broken. Looks like an easy entrance.

Entering the first business premises. I believe, that this is the former post office.

The furniture inside looks to be from the 1990’s. There was probably some use after the post office use.

The windows of this space. And a lurking Volvo behind them.

Moving on forward. As you can see, the building is in a very bad condition.

The back door of the post office.

This probably used to be a staff room.

I wonder, what this machine has been used for.

The front of the post office. The building is extremely tilted.

The remains of an old S-group logo. It was used between 1979 and 1985. Maybe that was the era, when the store was closed.

The old fridges and some other displays were still there.

This was the ice cream freezer.

The rest of the store. It was extermely small.

A brand of water from decades ago. This place was really closed down a long ago.

This was as far as I was willing to go in the collapsing building. My camera battery was almost finished, so I had to drive to the town center to have a kebab and charge it.

But I would be back in this village. And sooner than later.
