Ön (The Island) before the urbanization with the Cementa Factory in the background and a ship (Memories and comments about the place (Malmö, Schweden, EU (soon Nato I guess :) ) )

            this is an old snap of ÖN (quite literally known as the Island, since it was once an Island at my Grandfathers childhood, My grandfather remembered this place as an island when he was a kid I think there was a factory and later it was connected to the mainland with the expansion of the harbor and the Cementa Factory dominating the surrounding of this part of the town....

...as a kind I was often on this spot or close to it fishing either with my G-D or others...

I remember early morning loading a bag with sandwiches and hot cocoa, I think all we ever got there was flatfish like halibuts and so on, No wait my grandfather actually used to get both Eels and Garfish (the ones with green skeletons) 

When I said we were fishing it is with a small modification, I had my own rod since I was very small, still I wasn´t very interested in the "fishing part" of Fishing, I wouldn´t angle my own hook, I would sometimes on good days make the fist throw, then I would be off leaving my fishing to whom ever I was there with... 

I would wander of and explore and find more interesting stuff, once actually a genuine Bootle Mail sadly the sender hadn´t made the bottle sealing waterproof enough so it was unreadable... 
but I could make out that it was written in yellow and pink felt pens...

This photo is taken before this area was urbanized, probably when me and a relative was there fishing... 

It was taken with my old systematic camera so I guess I was in my teens when it was taken...

Later on my grandparents would live on the first block of buildings built on this peninsula...

My grandparents would alternate a lot sometimes Living in England sometimes in Sweden, this changed quite often in my childhood, I remember packing and unpacking their entire home through my childhood and through my teens... I guess it is the wanderlust of a Circus-family that made them move about...

...also my G-M was born in London, England and my G-D was born in a small house close to this area... Then a town on it´s own called Limhamn who was later swallowed by the Expanding city of Malmö, Sweden

I remember this part of town vividly all through my youth since it was where the boat to Denmark would go...

Since I have family across the sound I was going by boat here all the times as a kid...

Once when I was on my way Denmark with my G-D and my (Danish) cousin one of his first early stays in Sweden my G-D asked my Cousin what he thought about Sweden and my cousin about 4-5 years old said: "yes Sweden wasn´t all that bad, But there were far to many Swedes there!" 

No a days if you go to this part of Malmö, Sweden on google maps you will see that the "Island" is fully urbanized... 

When there was just my granny and granddads block of flats there my Aunt would call it "Space city" since it looked like an outpost on some newly settled planet standing there like a modern base...

The factory: I think the fist parts of this factory closed down already when I was tiny, but there was some activity the until the 90´s I remember that even if you were not down there close to the peninsula known as the Island you would see "Cemanta" Trucks and trains all over the town, so once I guess that was a prosperous industrial complex with loads of people working there...

Peace and Noise!
