Inside Ontario's Abandoned Textile Factory | Lincoln Fabrics & Maple Leaf Rubber History

Step inside one of Ontario's most fascinating abandoned factories.

In this episode, I explore the former Lincoln Fabrics building in Port Dalhousie, Ontario, a massive industrial complex with a history dating back to 1890 when it operated as the Maple Leaf Rubber Company.

After a devastating fire destroyed the original factory in 1898, the impressive brick structure seen today was rebuilt and eventually became home to decades of textile manufacturing. At its peak, hundreds of people worked here, making it one of the community's largest employers before manufacturing eventually came to an end.

Join me as I document what's left inside this incredible piece of Ontario's industrial history.
