European
Route of Industrial Heritage
ERIH is the European Route of Industrial Heritage, a
network of the most important industrial heritage sites in
Europe. It is the common link between them all. From disused
production plants to industrial landscape parks and
inter-active technology museums. The backbone of the route
consists of the so-called anchor points: the outstanding
industrial monuments in the former heartlands of the
Industrial Revolution, Great Britain, Netherlands and
Germany. But this is just the beginning. For ERIH intends to
grow further - right to the borders of Europe.
The Industrious East
This Regional Route celebrates the
industrious people of the east of England, their successes
and achievements. Whether engineers and innovators or the
working people and their centuries of effort and toil, the
Route brings them all to life. It is part of ERIH? the
European Route of Industrial Heritage ? that stretches
across the continent.
