| Roman Baths, Bath (or Aquae Sulis as it was known then). The hot springs still pulse through the Great Bath that the Romans built in the first century AD. Naturally hot, mineral rich spring water at a temperature of 460C rises from here at the rate of 1,170,000 litres (that's 240,000 gallons) every day. http://www.romanbaths.co.uk/ |

| Marcus under the bridge at Coalbrookdale. Each rib was cast in two 6 ton pieces and was winched upright to produce a self-supporting arch. |
Total construction cost was just over £6,000 of which £15 was for a celebratory beer on its completion. |
A survey on the Iron Bridge in 2000 shed light on how these ribs were put together — the casting techniques appear to have developed and changed as the Bridge was being built. |
