This essay examines the old Sandvik boat factory at Bankløkka in Horten in Vestfold County, Norway, through conceptions of a place based on pictures. The essay examines the culture of everyday life, what is around us, local identity, and local community and investigates what is disappearing. The essay is about our experiences and what the pictures should convey and what they convey today. The purpose is based on the questions: What do the pictures show and what do the pictures convey? Is the boat factory at Bankløkka important and if so for whom? Is there a repeating similarity between the images that indicates which dominant images are produced? Has old Sandvik boat factory created a local identity? Who has the right to create identity in the area? I have chosen to use visuality, heritage and image analysis as theoretical points of departure. The essay describes what the pictures represent, what they convey and the contemporary context to show what family pictures convey, about how boatbuilding figures in everyday life, as part, and is part of the everyday life of the people, and which carries their meanings when you look back on the images, which make sense in the present. This perspective has significance for what a place/can be/ for its significance. The pictures are used as documentation and show that old Sandvik boat factory on Bankløkka exists, and that it looks the same, and threatened by Horten havneby. Images help to create common notions that are created through the visual along with, for example, stories. We get an understanding of the space and the use of the space. What is unique about this place are properties that are not everywhere. The survey as well shows that the old Sandvik boat factory on Bankløkka is a concrete place and events where “it actually happened”. The old Sandvik boat factory has not been designated as a cultural heritage. It should have to do with value adding, what is selected for cultural heritage and important history in Horten and what is chosen away. The old Sandvik boat factory has attached itself to memory and created a local identity. We must remember what is excluded, subordinate, disregarded and forgotten.
