Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Salangsverket ("Salangen Works") is a village and industrial site in Salangen municipality in Troms county, Norway. The Salangsverket or Salangen Bergverkaktieselskap was an industrial iron ore mining company 1907–1912. The ore was mined at Storhaugen, then processed at and shipped from Salangsverket at Langneset by the Sagfjorden fiord (jernbrikettstøperi, utskipningshavn etc). The ruins of the old industry facility are today a cultural heritage monument and open air museum with a cultural trail, as part of the Sør-Troms Museum. The remaining huge, reinforced concrete constructions are partly taken over by the surrounding nature.

The photo shows the fundaments of the conveyor belt with a commemorative plaque (minneplate) of the 1.749 women and men working for the company 1907–1913.The text in Norwegian reads:"Til minne om de 1749 kvinner og menn som hadde sitt virke her på Langneset og på Storhaugen 1907–1913. Minneplata er reist av Salangen historielag med støtte fra Norsk Arbeidsmandsforbund og en utflytta salangsværing Terje Hauglid."

The photo was taken on May 7th, 2019.
