Google earth is our friend!

I've been looking for some pictures of old industrial areas. Most industrial areas have been renewed. The buildings have limited cultural value and are torn down to give way to modern industry (which is lined up perfectly with GPS), but I have found some nice examples:

Small scale industrial shacks (modern, but showing typical small scale structure), Madrid, Spain:


Old small workshops, West Bromwitch, UK. The non-flat roofs, some of corrugated iron, indicate this are was build during or right before the middle of the 20th century.


Victorian sheds, Docklands, London, UK:


Wartime makeshift industry, including half-cylindrical Nissen-hut style buildings, Edinburgh, UK:


Old industrial area, Budapest, Hungar, showing semi-lined up buildings, probably 1950'ies:
