Louwers &
Co BV
|
| Louwers & Co trades (traded?) in
textile machinery. Before they occupied these buildings it was the
home of "NV Transportwerktuigen en Machinefabriek
voorheen G.B. Sanders & Zn", Sanders for short. The
company, over a century old and once employing almost 300 men, went
bankrupt in 1982. |
| 25-01-2003 I am late, once again. Parts of the factory have already been demolished, leaving only the foundations. Another part is just the skeleton of the hall it used to be. |
 From the front gate. This part is still intact. |
 The office building. Notice the machine in front of the building. |
 From the same street. Fence is passable but a bit too much in view to my likings. |
| Around the back, crossing the former railroad to Enschede Zuid, was a seemingly often used hole in the fence. Here the results of the demolishen work are more obvious. |
