North/South investigation

We investigated what the divide between the north and south sides of the harbor was really like by interviewing residents of each side. Here are quotes of what people from the north and south areas of the harbor said about the opposite sides and their own side.

North- they're different people I don't notice it it's working class they have a different culture there is a big kindergarten not safe I don't notice it they are a close community we have too much dogshit we like our privacy our traffic is very bad we need a kindergarten i'd like a shopping mall we need a park we need to be more social we need the new bridge the new bridge is ridiculous

South-north gets given everything they think we mean trouble they have a better location their side of the harbour is nicer i don't notice the difference they're richer their traffic is unsafe they walk with their chins held high we don't socialise with them the government sees no potencial in us the government makes excuses we are a close community we support each other i don't notice any difference we need more public space i like the idea of a new bridge the new bridge is a waste

AaBe

On Monday we went to the abandoned Aabe factory on the South side of the harbour here are some photos we took and information we found out about the factory

Aabe, short for "The Royal AaBe wool and blanket factories," was derived from Beka and existed from 1816. In the heyday of the factory had about 1250 employees.
In Tilburg there were numerous textile mills. In the 50s the city was promoted as “Tilburg the wool capital”. Over the years more and more companies closed the doors.
After establishing the EEC in 1957, Europe and lost all kinds of trade barriers. Also outside Europe, the competition grew.
The industrialized countries were confronted with imports of cheap textiles from developing countries.
Reorganizations, takeovers and mergers could not turn the tide: many textile mills in the 60s and 70’s were closed, and machinery sold, and workers lost their jobs. Aabe had very hard times but managed to stay open. During the 80s and 90s they had specialized in the manufacture of technical textiles for furniture and fireproof aviation.
But in 1996 Aabe went bankrupt. A restart was made under the name Aabe Textiles BV, but this company went bankrupt in September 2008.
