Here’s an idea. Take a nice old map, like this 19th century one, and map out some landmarks of interest, meaning technologies in the widest sense.
Examples: coachworks, cooperage, malthouses, schools, greenhouses, kilns, quarries, breweries, cemeteries, silk factory, print works, mills on the river, mills not on the river, auction rooms, banks, hotels, gasworks, workhouse, police stations, hospitals, railway stations…
And maybe make up a walking tour.
