Bednarska Street, Łódź
Bednarska Street, Łódź

Bednarska Street is a street located in the northern part of the former Górna district of Łódź, forming a boundary that separates three Urban Information System areas: Górniak from Chojny (on the section from Rzgowska Street to Unicka Street) and Górniak from Kurak (on the section from Unicka Street to Pabianicka Street). It connects Rzgowska Street with Pabianicka Street and serves as an extension of Wólczańska Street, which was established much earlier. The properties on the northern, odd-numbered side of the street are situated in Górniak, while the properties on the southern, even-numbered side are located in Chojny (between Rzgowska and Unicka streets) and in Kurak (between Unicka and Pabianicka streets). Bednarska Street begins at the intersection with Rzgowska Street, initially heading southwest. After the intersection with Julian Korsak Street, it turns northwest and ends at the intersection with Pabianicka Street. Its northern extension, beyond the intersection with Pabianicka Street, is Wólczańska Street. The name of the street, derived from the noun bednarz (meaning cooper, a craftsman who makes wooden vessels), has no geographical justification. The street holds the status of a county road (no. 1105E). It is two-way along its entire length. It passes through Legionów Park, which includes the former factory park of Ernst Leonhardt (on the northern, odd-numbered side of the street) and the former Social Insurance Institution park (on the southern, even-numbered side). The initial section of the street, up to the intersection with Unicka Street (properties numbered 3–9 and 2–20), belongs to the Roman Catholic Parish of Our Lady of the Angels, while the further section (properties numbered 24–42) belongs to the Roman Catholic Parish of St. Luke the Evangelist and St. Florian.

Łódź Dąbrowa railway station
Łódź Dąbrowa railway station

The Łódź Dąbrowa is a railway complex in Polish city of Łódź, located in the Górna district, between the residential and industrial sectors of the Dąbrowa estate, on the part of circular line running between Łódź Chojny and Łódź Widzew stations. The complex consists of two parts: a cargo terminal serving the industrial facilities located in the areas of Dąbrowa, Zarzew and Widzew Wschód, and a pass-through commuter station, consisting of a single platform located under the viaducts of Dąbrowski St. The station was planned back in the 1960s because of the construction of towerblock estate to the west of the tracks. The passenger station was meant to be built along with road viaducts, but the work was never finished. An unfinished concourse under the viaduct is the only remnant of that era.The concept of a commuter station was reactivated in 2010 as part of the Łódź Commuter Railway project. A new platform was made, along with staircases and elevators for both road viaducts for integration with a bus stop located on them. The new station was opened on 15 December 2013.The station is mostly served by PolRegio regional trains running from Łódź Kaliska station to Częstochowa and Skarżysko-Kamienna, and ŁKA trains from Łódź Kaliska to Łódź Widzew station. The station is also served by several PKP Intercity trains from Warsaw to Wrocław. The station can be accessed by trams running to a nearby terminus, and buses, both terminating at and passing through the area of the station.

White Factory
White Factory

The White Factory (Polish: Biała Fabryka) is the classicist building in Łódź, Poland, constructed in 1835–1839 to host a textile factory which belonged to Ludwik Geyer. It currently hosts the Central Museum of Textiles and Folk Dance Ensemble "HARNAM". It is considered a fine example of early industrial architecture in Łódź. The building is located at the southern end of Piotrkowska Street, south of the city center. In the first half of the 19th century Łódź, which was a part of the Congress Poland and previously a small town, experienced a rapid economic and industrial development. The city was open for migrants, and Geyer, a German originally from Saxony, moved to the city to start textile production. The building was reconstructed several times after the 1830s but still retains its original plan. In 1955, the decision was taken to host the Central Museum of Textiles in the building, and in 1958 the reconstruction works which made the building usable as a museum started. The museum was established as an independent institution in 1960. Simultaneously, the building was still exploited as a factory until 1990, when the production in the eastern wing stopped. The wing was transferred to the museum in the 2002, completing the transfer of the whole complex.White Factory is a four-wing building with a courtyard. The oldest wing is the western one, facing Piotrkowska Street. The northern wing is from 1838, the southern one is from 1847, and the eastern wing was built in 1886. In the courtyard, the Old Boiler House is constructed. The complex has a high chimney, two dust towers, and two water towers, which is an unusual solution for the first half of the 19th century. South of the building, a pond is made. Next to the White Factory, still on industrial grounds, the Open Air Museum of Łódź Timber Architecture was opened in 2009.The building was classified as a cultural heritage monument.
