* Buckingham Palace, London:
- Buckingham Palace is the London home and primary residence of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.

* The Iron Bridge, Coalbrookdale, river Severn, Shropshire, England:
- The Iron Bridge crosses the River Severn at the Ironbridge Gorge, by the village of Ironbridge, in Shropshire, England. It was the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron, a material which was previously far too expensive to use for large structures. However, a new blast furnace nearby lowered the cost and so encouraged local engineers and architects to solve a long-standing problem of a crossing over the river.
- In the early 18th century, the only way to cross the Severn Gorge was by ferry. However, the industries that were growing in the area of Coalbrookdale and Broseley needed a more reliable crossing.
- The Iron Bridge at Coalbrookdakle has been described as the "Stonehenge of the Industrial Revolution". The original Stonehenge stands testament to long past history. The Iron Bridge, a magnificent and innovative design when first constructed, now stands testament to the marvels of the Industrial Revolution.
