Fray Bentos Industrial Landscape
Located on land jutting into the Uruguay River west of the town of Fray Bentos, the industrial park was created following the development of a factory established in 1859 to process meat produced in the nearby vast prairies. The site illustrates the entire process of meat procurement, processing, packaging and distribution. It includes the buildings and equipment of the Liebig Meat Extract Company, which exported meat extracts and corned beef to European markets from 1865, and the Anglo Meat Packing Plant, which exported frozen meat from 1924. Through its physical locations, industrial and residential buildings, and social institutions, the site illustrates the entire process of global meat production.
Derwent Valley Mills
The Derwent Valley in central England features a series of 18th and 19th century cotton mills and an industrial landscape of high historical and technological interest. The modern mill originated at Cromford Mill, where Richard Arkwright’s invention was first put into industrial production. The workers’ housing associated with this and other mills remains intact, reflecting the socio-economic development of the area.
Blaenavon Industrial Landscape
The area around Blaenavon is evidence of South Wales' pre-eminence as a major iron and coal producer in the world during the 19th century. All the necessary elements are still visible - coal and ore mines, quarries, the original railway system, furnaces, workers' homes and the social infrastructure of their communities.
The Four Lifts on the Canal du Centre and their Environs, La Louvière and Le Roeulx (Hainaut)
The four hydraulic boat lifts on this short stretch of the historic Canal du Centre are industrial monuments of the highest quality. Together with the canal itself and its associated buildings, they form a typical example of a well-preserved late 19th-century industrial landscape. Of the eight hydraulic boat lifts built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the four on the Canal du Centre are the only ones in the world still in original working condition.
Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens
The Royal Exhibition Building and its surrounding Carlton Gardens were designed for the great International Exhibitions held in Melbourne in 1880 and 1888. The building and grounds were designed by Joseph Reid. The building is constructed of brick and timber, steel and stone. It incorporates elements of Byzantine, Romanesque, Lombard and Italian Renaissance styles. The building is typical of the International Exposition movement, which saw more than 50 exhibitions held between 1851 and 1915 in places such as Paris, New York, Vienna, Calcutta, Kingston (Jamaica) and Santiago (Chile). All the expositions had a common theme and aim: to record material and moral progress by showcasing the industries of nations.
Van Nellefabriek
The Van Nellefabriek factory was designed and built in the 1920s, on the banks of a canal in the industrial area of Spaanse Polder, northwest of Rotterdam. One of the landmarks of 20th century industrial architecture, the factory consists of a factory complex with a facade made mainly of steel and glass, making extensive use of curtain wall principles. It was conceived as an "ideal factory", open to the outside world, with internal work spaces that evolved according to needs and took advantage of daylight to provide comfortable working conditions. It embodied a new type of factory, becoming a symbol of modernist and functionalist culture in the interwar period, and a testament to the Netherlands' long commercial and industrial history in the import and processing of food from tropical countries and their industrial processing for sale in Europe.
From the Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains to the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, the Production of Open-pan Salt
The Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, near Besançon, was built by Claude Nicolas Ledoux. Construction began in 1775 during the reign of Louis XVI and was the first major achievement of industrial architecture, embodying the progressive ideals of the Enlightenment. This massive semi-circular complex was intended to allow for a rational, hierarchical organization of work and, subsequently, the creation of an ideal city, a project that was never realized.
Former Site of Fujuxing Machinery Factory
The former site of Fujuxing Machinery Factory is located in the southeast of Hongqiao District, Tianjin, adjacent to Sanchahekou and Dahutong commercial district, covering an area of more than 630 square meters. It is the only historical relic preserved in the Santiaoshi area that reflects the formation and development process of Tianjin's machinery manufacturing industry. It is also one of the relatively complete industrial heritage sites in Tianjin.
Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites
The property is a historic sericulture and silk mill complex built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Gunma Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo. It consists of four sites corresponding to different stages of raw silk production: a large raw silk reeling mill with machinery and industrial expertise imported from France; an experimental farm where silkworm cocoons were produced; a school where knowledge of sericulture was disseminated; and a silkworm seed cold storage facility. The site embodies Japan’s desire to rapidly acquire the best mass production technology and was a decisive factor in the renaissance of Japan’s sericulture and silk industry in the last quarter of the 19th century. The Tomioka Silk Mill and its associated sites became a center of innovation in raw silk production, marking Japan’s entry into the modern industrialized era, making it the world’s largest exporter of raw silk, especially to Europe and the United States.
