	Britannia Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Britannia Bridge is a bridge across the Menai Strait between the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales, originally a tubular bridge of wrought-iron rectangular box-section spans, and now a two-tier steel box girder and arch bridge.
		The opening of the Menai Bridge in 1826, a mile (1.6 km) to the east of where Britannia Bridge was later built, provided the first road link between Anglesey and the mainland.
		In spite of the heavier loadings placed on it in its later life, the bridge was "one of the most easily maintained and successful railway bridges" in the UK, and "as the first really large wrought iron bridge of the girder type it has unique significance in civil engineering history".

	Conwy Suspension Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conwy Suspension Bridge was one of the first road suspension bridges in the world.
		Located in the medieval town of Conwy in the traditional county of Caernarfonshire, north Wales, it is now only passable on foot.

	River Conwy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Conwy is bounded to the East by the rolling ancient mudstone hills of the Silurian period, the Migneint Moors.
		One of the earliest road suspension bridges by Thomas Telford now carries a footpath whilst the Stephenson tubular iron bridge still carries the main Holyhead to London railway line.
		The Conwy is noted for its Salmon and Sea trout although increasing acidification in the second half of the 20th century, especially in the poorly buffered upland waters has significantly impacted upon their spawning success.

	Channel Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The project was launched in 1973 but folded due to financial problems in 1975 after the construction of a 250 m test tunnel.
		In an unusual move, the British and French governments agreed to provide immigration staff at opposite ends of the tunnel; thus the French immigration control posts are located in England while the British ones are in France.
		The sequence showing the train going into the tunnel was reportedly filmed in the Upper Nithsdale valley on the Kilmarnock to Dumfries railway line in Scotland.

	Context for World Heritage Bridges
		Bridges were one of the first structural uses of iron, preceded only by columns (not yet beams) to support the floors of textile mills.
		Bridges in areas other than Europe and the USA should be investigated, as the colonial empires of several nations were at their peak during the autumn years of the 19th century.
		This bridge, designed by E H Duggan and Phelps Johnson with Ralph Modjeski as consultant, was criticized by many engineers as being the ugliest, while the cantilever was generally regarded as a type, especially those of American origin, whose profile was unsightly despite their record lengths.

	The International Canal Monuments List - Part IIa - Individual Structures
		Stone-track railways of later date are not uncommon; one of the more complete ran the 10 miles from granite quarries at Haytor on Dartmoor down to the navigable river Teign (Devon, England).
		Such structures bridging natural watercourses also ensured the separation of the artificial water-economy of the canal from the natural land drainage and considerably eased the water management of the artificial navigation.
		Iron as a constructional material for girder bridges was used by the ancient Chinese by AD 1000, and in the modern period first for large arches of wrought iron, as at Kirklees, Yorkshire (UK), and then cast iron over the river Severn at Ironbridge, Shropshire (UK) in 1779 (part of the World Heritage site).
