Where to Photograph Places on the European Route of Industrial Heritage

We are attempting to provide details of all places where photographers can photograph places featured on the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH) within the UK.

This listing of places was taken from the ERIH site on the 17th July 2009.

Places listed can be Anchor Points, considered to be the most significant, a regional route or appear under one of ten specific classifications. We have added all of these together to capture all sites within the various listings that are located in the UK and then sorted this table alphabetically by name of place. In total there are 213 places listed in the UK out of a total of 845 spread over 29 European countries.  27 of the 66 Anchor Points are in the UK.

Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked, this links to a Location page within this site with more information on this place and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.

Before making trip to any of the places in this list please check that they are open or still open.
