Hello Thighslapper,

 

Could the copper piping mean we are somewhere where people are making some sort of alcoholic something?

 

Best Regards,

Probably related to James Watt, maybe Glasgow?

Oops sorry, just saw too late it wasn't Scotland...

Yes still looking, gorgeous images! But I haven't got a faint idea. Watermanagement?

[stuny]

I agree completely with Otto.

[vertekijker]

Seems like the attic has a function to play in this building. For drying something maybe?

I found it but used Google so I don't think that counts. Many thanks for posting pictures of this magnificent part of the industrial past. Sure gives new meaning to the phrase, They

don't make 'em like they used to!

Bob....... If you didn't use google this thread would be absolutely impossible !!

 

Even with the internet to search it is often extremely difficult....... And I doubt more than a handful of uk leica users wil have been here ...... And possibly none on the forum .....

 

Name the site please ...... And have a go.......

[stuny]

Perhaps Scotch or beer producing, but let's hear about it, Bob.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear
