The European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH) are the tourism information network of industrial heritage in Europe. The route system is a signpost to Europe’s industrial heritage. 

• Where was the world’s first factory? 
• Where was the largest steam engine built? 
• Where can you find the most up-to-date colliery of its time?

Industrialisation changed the face of Europe. Consequently, it has left us a rich industrial heritage. A gigantic network of sites spread all over Europe. It only has to be brought back to life, which is what the ERIH is doing.

It is a great honour that we have been signposted as an Anchor Point as these points are selected due to being a site of exceptional historical importance in terms of industrial heritage that also offer a high quality visitor experience. Acceptance as an Anchor Point, which is reserved to ERIH members, is a seal of quality and it offers visitors the promise of an enjoyable and interesting visit.
