Old Charlotta Brigde over The River Kokemäki on the left and new Pori Bridge on the right in year 1926. The big building behind was Finlayson Cotton Factory (burned badly in 1978 and again 1981 and therefore went out of business) and it's nowadays University of Pori .

Pori has burned down 9 times during its history!

Here's old view from Kokemäki River, picture is taken in 1860. These buildings were made after the great fire of Pori 22.5.1852 when almost the whole town burned down. I used to work for ten years in the building marked yellow.
