RE: Walkwithme: Skien - from Bryggevannet to the train station
I was incorrect, as it (as I read that wikipedia article) has always been an electric power station and never a grain mill.

The huge building right next to it is the grain mill. It is called Skiens Aktiemølle, but I don't think it is operational anymore.
So the mill was driven directly by the hydro power earlier, then they electrified it.

I'm not sure I understood the end. Does it mean the old shareholder company is disbanded, but the mill is still operating under another owner? Or is there another mill in Skien that is still operating?
