Another familiar location. This here is a former leather factory, which I found back in 2022. During that visit I didn’t gain entry, but I was given zucchinis by the neighbours. I still failed to gain entry. As the neighbours weren’t home, there was no zucchini this time. I had to leave empty handed.

At Least I Didn’t Have To Leave Empty Handed
It was late in the evening. There wasn’t much left of my Tour De Finland. I was driving from town to town, marking new conquests on my map almost sure, that I would finish this thing once and for all. That was when I spotted this beauty. It was large, it was lovely and itContinue reading “At Least I Didn’t Have To Leave Empty Handed”
Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part IV
The third floor had clearly just been office space. In fact the third floor only covered one end of the building.

An attempt at a window shot. Not one of my best. Again the brick wall looks a bit too good to me. The bricks and the plaster between them look a bit too regular to be from the 1940’s. So I found the elevator. This one has definitely been modernized in the 1970’s, so that’sContinue reading “Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part III”

A closer look at one of the drums. Chrome was used in making the skins better suited for leather products, and probably some substance containing it was led to the drums. This also meant that the soil under and around the factory was seriously contaminated. The contamination levels were such, that in fact the authoritiesContinue reading “Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part II”

This golden haired beauty is yet another one of the baristas in the café I used to frequent back in the days. I had already been urbexing with two of them, she was the third one. Our location of the day was a former leather factory located next to a railroad. My background research hadContinue reading “Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part I”
Can You See The Signs?
This is a former leather factory. It was founded in the late 1910’s and its buildings have been built in several phases between the 1940’s and 1960’s. It first declared bankrupcy in 1997 and closed for good in 2003 after which it has been abandoned. This is the prelude for one of the most personalContinue reading “Can You See The Signs?”
