Outside the factory
This machine separated and cleaned the cotton
At least spiders still weave here
The factory holds several hundred machines
Retired insignia
Outside the factory's power plant
Some signs of life
Yesterday afternoon, I visited a closed textile factory, located only a few minutes away from the cathedral here in Nzara. Founded in 1949, the English owners employed hundreds who emigrated from around the country and region. Indeed, the managers originally established the town's Anglican church. The workers lived in company homes and grew cotton to be processed.
In 1990, the factory permanently shut its doors.
