The iron ore mine was here:


The mine was closed in the 1970's. Today it's a crushing plant (rock crushing).
Nedenes is a wider area today, as with most old farmnames; the old names are being used for the whole neighborhood and/or street addresses.
As with Bødkerbugten... the street address for those houses today is Bødkerbukt

More about Bodkerbughten. I checked O. Rygh (https://www.dokpro.uio.no/cgi-bin/stad/matr50.cgi) 1950 farm site and found five tracts under Asdal farm (#36) with the name (#117, 61, 62, 51 and 43). This changed my perception. I thought all people listed there in 1801 census were under one roof in abandoned cooper works, but appears may have been a community of coopers in the same area at different farms. Anyone living near there know more about the history? From previous response by jwiborg I understand neighborhood is now Bødkerbukt.
