A new discovery.

We have so many hidden places over here that we still need to explore.

And here is a new one that we heard about. So come and be just as surprised as we were.

The old building is situated on the grounds of what once was a very large arms manufacturing company. The grounds stretch over many hectares as a section of the grounds was handed to the municipality for public developments. A large modern private hospital and some residential complexes have now been built on a part of the new public grounds, but there are some other parts of the grounds that have not yet been developed.
The old original building in this post is rented by a brewing company, but we did not know it at the time of our visit, as I was only told to go and have a look at Triggerfish.
Now what on earth can Triggerfish be?
Come and see.

Some of the old signs were still hanging around, as previously over many years, no public entry was allowed.

There was an open door, so let's go inside.

An interesting wall greeted us and the shelving looked fairly new.

And as we rounded a corner this modern kitchen was on show.

Ah! A hall for music performances.

A blackboard with the coming performances can be seen here. I am ashamed to say that I have only heard of Watershed. I am more into the rock bands of the 60s and the 70s.

A lovely live set up can be seen here. Just imagine that once before deadly munitions were manufactured here and now songs of peace ring out from this building. What a turnaround.

Two of the bar attendants here below :)

A huge trike and a bike were hanging in one area from the high roof.

And that bike looked very interesting.

And finally yes, Triggerfish is a brewery that has converted this old building into a bar and restaurant.

But that's not all, as some of you know me and I like to explore. So, in my next post I will show you some other interesting sights at this place.
Such as this for example.

That Rhino boat on the ground fascinated me and I took a closer look at it.
The sea is just behind the plane section and that boat with its V6 motor must have gone like a rocket.
Yes, it was wonderful to walk around here and apart from another old building that was converted into a wine tasting center, there is also an old power station that is still partly in use. I took enough photos to show you a few posts in the future, but I am a bit limited by a current ailment.

Until then, I hope that you have enjoyed this post.

And That's All Friends.

Those bar attendants look like they need a sandwich because why are they so skinny? 😄

Hahaha, a good one, but I think that they are on a strict diet 😉

Looks like a nice place for a beer and some live music. Definitely on the quirky side. Did you find any actual people there?

They are mainly active on the weekends Steve. I bet that when I get to meet the owner, he would have some very interesting stories to tell.
I think there were 2 or 3 couples sitting outside under the trees, but they looked like tourists. Apart from that, we had the place to ourselves. Oh, and also a few staff members.

Just the way of life methinks, as the light will always beat the dark. That old building is the proof, as now instead of creating death, it creates life with song and dance.

Wow that's a really nice place!

Transforming a place where weapons were built into a brewery where people drink, dance and have fun and where good music is played is really a beautiful thing... this is also a way to change the world for the better in my opinion. .. we need more beer and less weapons!

I agree with the fact that the two waiters are a bit emaciated, a sandwich wouldn't hurt them eh eh!

Thank you and I have seen this before. There was a nightclub on the top floor of a low building where drugs were sold and after a time the place was closed down and a church Sunday school replaced the nightclub. The good beating the bad. Light beating the dark.
It is exactly the same with this old building in the post. Transformed from death to life in song.

As I said somewhere else in the replies, the two waiters are on a strict diet and they can only take one cup of dust every day 🤣 !LOLZ

Well hidden between the trees one would not know it was there, interesting to learn some of the history, better knowing it is being put to good use in a more positive way for now.

Oh yeah, the place was off limits and to this day some bad stories about it is floating around. We were told that some very dangerous waste was dumped into holes and that's why the rest of the area is still restricted.
If only the world would learn to dump the weapon arsenals and to rather focus on the improvements of its peoples, life would become so much better for all.
