Comments

"the industrial revolution in this" that's typically capitalised.
- Done.

"offers a connection to the birth of the modern world." whimsical, not encyclopedic in tone.
- Edited.

(I ADORE that lead image, I had a dreadful journey back from Reading one day and ended up on the North Circular, passing that building made it almost all worthwhile)...
- Thanks!

"1932–5, " -> "1932–1935, "
- Done.

"once derided, now admired" I don't think this is appropriate for encyclopedia.
- Edited.

"the industrial revolution with" see above. Apply the fix to following instances too.
- replaced.

"of the Iron Bridge across " our article just calls it The Iron Bridge.
- Fixed.

"Bedlam furnaces" linked in the caption but not here? And in the caption called Bedlam Furnaces...
- Done.

"World Heritage site" link WHS. Or even the more specific List of World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom?

- Done.

"Scaling up" not sure how informative this heading is.
- Edited.

"corn mills, malt houses, breweries and tanneries" might consider linking some of the slightly more obscure things, like malt house/tannery?
- Done.

"as war raised grain prices" which war?
- The French Revolutionary Wars; soon after, the Napoleonic Wars...

"Murray's Mills," Murrays' Mills.
- Fixed.

"Murray's Mills (for cotton) on the Rochdale Canal, Manc" see above for Mills, and Rochdale Canal is overlinked.
- Fixed.

"storey Corn Mill" is there a reason it's capitalised?
- Fixed.

"between 1795 and 1805" move that to after the mention of Telford.
- Repositioned all the dates here.

More overlinking in most of the captions.
