Telfords Pontcycsyllte Aqueduct
Thomas Telford built this aqueduct(not by himself, he got some other folks to help with the heavy bits) just over 200 years ago, finishing it in 1805. The bridge spans the Vale of Llangollen at over 126 feet above the River Dee. For more info on this amazing piece of engineering check out Wilkipeadia article on the Poncysyllte Aqueduct. Flickr even has a group dedicated to Thomas Telford, I was amazed by the sheer quantity of his engineering achievements.
