Thanks!

I linked these a while back on the Discord, but here they might be easier to find:

Individual locations like factories and stuff:

This list also effectively gives you a link of early industries, from the mid 1800’s. Wool mills, saw mills, chemical manufacturing, iron works, factories, “Horstmann’s Dress Trimmings, Military & Regalia Goods Manufactory” etc., and ideas for where skylights could be, steam engines, fire equipment. ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

Larger scale like cities and entire countries:
