I was recently searching the internet for similar resources for the UK. I didn't find what I was looking for. There seem to be quite a few car factories one can visit, but they are geared towards car enthusiasts, which I am not.
I did the Sizewell B tour a few years and it was _awesome_.
Also fascinated by large areas of heavy industry. I.e. Port Talbot, Avonmouth etc. Portsmouth dockyard was good too.
Our very own JGC wrote this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003WUYEN4/The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive It's not only UK, but also some places in Europe and the US, but has many UK places.
Not sure if it will help you in the very short run but I have found this book in a bookstore in Prague last year: "Industrial archaeology in Britain", and it might just do the trick for you.
Granted, it was written in the late 1960s by the looks of it, but the annexes contain some very interesting maps of industrial-related points of interest from England (mostly), such as canals and all kinds of factories and water- and wind- mills. It also contains some 40+ photos of some industrial thingies themselves. Pretty good value for the money I've spent on it.
This looks interesting too, thanks. Not exactly what I was after but still worthwhile. Can't help but wonder if there ids something on my doorstep worth visiting!
