Good quality pictures such as these give another interesting view of englands past and present heritage and allow our overseas friends the chance to see that we are not just beautiful green fields and coastlines, but a nation of inventors, engineers and academics. lets have more of a simular nature, perhaps with a brief interesting explaination or description. |
