| 4. Mill interior 1 |
 |
 |
Once an entrance to the mill, now the door was nailed.
|
 |
This is not an entrance since it's too high, but it has been a connection to the demolished smaller wing.
|
 |
Chute hanging loose on the first floor near the access point.
|
 |
Middle section of the mill and exposed elevator buckets.
|
 |
Closer look to the elevator.
|
 |
Ceiling, or floor of you look from the upper storey, is like cheese.
|
 |
Office space on the first floor - what a mess...
|
 |
This has been a lab, although it's hard to recognise as such today.
|
 |
Even all walls have not been left in peace.
|
 |
No corner has survived from writing. The later built L-wing masks all windows on this side. Therefore this room is dark and it would not seem like most inviting place for tagging, since nobody can see the stuff.. But there are writings.
|
 |
Power transmissions have been just as much needed as in a steam mill. Only difference has been that main axle had spinned with electromotor instead of steamer.
|
 |
Machines removed, chutes and pipes remaining.
|
 |
There is only one old and small person elevator in the mill.
|
 |
Kone made also it.
|
 |
Where's the door?
|
 |
Peeking into shaft.
|
 |
Alternative lifting method, winch and trapdoors.
|
 |
Flume made of wood, like most installations here.
|
 |
There have not been birds here! In about every other corner of the mill there had been, though.
|
 |
Some sort of wooden, small silo. Nice work, whoever burned it.
|
 |
Sacking department, one of the few places in the mill where reek of grain was still strong.
|
 |
Sacking machines came a long way from America.
|
 |
Functional core room, the milling department. Where are the mills?
|
 |
And who the heck tried to burn the place?
|
 |
Fire department has saved the mill atleast once, and stuff ripped away during firefighting doesn't seem to bother even the land owner. It's just been left there.
|
 |
Small staircase and graffiti everywhere. "Vaasa art city", it's true.
|
 |
Is that a train conductor? Bus driver? or...
|
 |
Some kind of office room.
|
 |
Main staircase is old style, rather dignified than industrial .
|
 |
Top of main staircase.
