European Route of Industrial Heritage

From Rhondda Cynon Taff Wiki

The European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH) is a network of the most important Industrial Heritage sites in Europe. The aim of the project is to create interest for the common European Heritage of the Industrialization and its remains. ERIH also wants to promote regions, towns and sites showing the industrial history and market them as visitor attractions in the leisure and tourism industry.
