The Factory Act creates an inspectorate

node

The Act prohibited the employment of children under nine in textile mills, restricted the hours of those aged nine to thirteen and of young persons under eighteen, required some schooling, and — decisively — established a small salaried inspectorate answerable to central government with the right to enter any mill and prosecute. Previous Acts had set limits without anyone to enforce them; this one did the opposite.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
