The Last Cotton Factory in the Country
In Stanley, which is north of Perth, Scotland, is where you'll find the remains of the last great cotton mill across in the United Kingdom. Today the factory is a museum that demonstrates its operation and runs by Historic Scotland, and some residential apartments. I found this museum visit amazing, because really we are transported to these huge red brick factories in the industrial revolution era. In the United Kingdom things like this are classics from the past (and recreated by many series and movies). Throughout the duration of the visit is recreated noise the machines used to do all day, which makes assessing what the workers / as were there.
After several fires, wars and other penumbres the factory closed its doors for good in 1989. The street closure left more than 400 employees (most of the town of Stanley and many of the very Perth) and certified the complete disappearance of this type of traditional factories. There are impressive fireplaces, colossal structures and outdated machinery that have been left for the visitor so that he or she can experience a bittersweet taste of traditional lifestyle fantastic murdered by science and progress, which is not always an advantage. Personally, I was very impressed this corner.
