Heritage of Industry
 The Industrial Revolution was a period where changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transport, and technology had a profound effect on the social, economic and cultural conditions of the times affecting everyone from the top to the bottom of society.

For more than 30 years Heritage of Industry has been the leading specialist in creating unique tours which allow you to explore the history of this revolution.
