The canning industry.





















When I saw this symbol up on the building I immediately thought about the canning industry.
That used to be BIG business here in Stavanger.

    Definitely makes me wonder what happened to cause the industry to shift away from Stavanger.

    I guess canning is/was popular in areas close to the water.

    So those really were Stavanger sardines I was eating all that time? :-)

    This is a fine sign. If canning isn't happening much in Stavanger now, I wonder where it DOES happen.

    A very nice relief, and I am wondering about what Jack just said...
