{"product_id":"abandoned-industrial-places","title":"Abandoned Industrial Places","description":"From factories, mines, and nuclear power stations to space research centers, Victorian English mill towns, and American gold rush settlements, Abandoned Industrial Places examines the places history left behind. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Once these industrial spaces were celebrated and thriving; now, they’re ghostly and forlorn. When times change and they’re no longer needed, power stations, gasworks, car plants, factories, and mine derricks are often too large to destroy. So they linger, looming over the landscape, haunting relics of the past. Ranging from Cuba’s unfinished nuclear power station to atomic test sites in England, from Nevada’s silver towns to a French coal-washing facility, from a sugar factory in Belgrade to a whole mining island in Japan and, yes, Chernobyl, Abandoned Industrial Places captures these imposing, often eerie, structures. Some are magnificent pieces of architecture, others appear like ragged pieces of piping out of science fiction, but each one tells a fascinating story. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe abandoned places include:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e NORTH AMERICA:\u003cbr\u003e Hudson Body Plant, Detroit; Crystal Mill near Marble, Colorado; Michigan Central Station, Detroit; Redstone Rocket Test Site, Huntsville, Alabama; Don Valley Brickworks, Toronto, Canada\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e CENTRAL \u0026amp; SOUTH AMERICA:\u003cbr\u003e Santa Laura Nitrate works, Chile; Petermann Island, Antarctica; Hacienda Yaxcopoil near Merida, Mexico (former hemp or henequen rope factory); Leith Harbour Whaling Station, South Georgia; Illegal Mine Site, Tambopata, Peru\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e EUROPE:\u003cbr\u003e Excavator Factory, Voronezh, Russia; Glassworks, Haidemu¨hl, Brandenburg, Germany; Plumain Factory, New Aquitaine, France; Sugar Factory, Belgrade, Serbia; Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station, Ukraine\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST:\u003cbr\u003e Lead mine, Morocco; Kolmanskop mining town, Namibia Drilling Rig; Vredehoek Quarry, South Africa\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e ASIA AND THE PACIFIC:\u003cbr\u003e Iron and Steel Mill, Loudi, Hunan, China; Hashima, mining island, Japan; Buran Transport, Baikonur, Kazakhstan;\u003cbr\u003e Cockatoo Island Docks, Sydney, Australia\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Amber Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51438544912731,"sku":"9781782749844","price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/abandoned-industrial-places","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
