The record keeping of business uses and land-use is terribly important for social and actual history keepings especially as NO industrial plants get heritage listing: in this sense there is no Protectionism for History. here in melbourne we have a lot of relict warehouses getting transmogrified into "condo" or bespoke housing: old silos, warehousing for wool, leather, wax & candlemaking, tallowing. fullering etc, timber and associated electro-plating, glassworks. There are also a lot of signs near railway lines especially on rooftops : Perrault rubber tire, robur tea, local steel and pharmaceuticals etc. there are also relict disused telecommunications pits and cables: just last week I chanced on a great UK site detailing different telegraphic systems: obviously tieing in your weblinks will get people jiving. maybe some old colour catalogs of the authentic dies and a bitb of history on how the plant operated the culture and ethnography of workers and their travails: teh economics, proximity to docks and rail etc and urban changes since. My great granduncle established a glassworks here in melbourne and had a diverse range of products which reveal much of their "period in history" ; I am researching the same: the products, the working conditions, thw work culture etc ( we are talking circa 1880- 1935) hence my enthusiasm. Keep up the great work and hope you get more of the praise you deserve" maybe even a "how to do like what we've done" in the blog. Often there are "hidden stories in the structural engineering, the building assembly methods etc. Are you having paint smaples done & tested? will the walls be subject to heritage orders/ will a "truth panel" (ie sample area) be left untouched for future genrations? regards Andrew I architect & amateur urban historian Very europhiliac: sort of faded look like old jeans and the history is very important: even if the chemistry was relatively unbenign for the environment.
