The Kedawong Sugar Factory near Pasuruan on Java — History & Facts
This sugar factory illustrates the great impact of Dutch colonialism on the industry, landscape, and population of Java. The originally wooded area was turned into an industrial site. Dark plumes of smoke from the factory chimneys billow into the air.
A slave bell hangs at the right in the corner behind the fence. It was used to ring the beginning and end of the working day for the enslaved workers.
