World Heritage Sites in the UK

Pontcysyllte is the latest UK World Heritage Site and brings the total to 28.  The government web site doesn’t include this latest one, but gives a list of all.

I’ve visited about half and would like to visit all. 

But one is St. Kilda, so I doubt I’ll get there!

My favourite is Liverpool, as I went to University there and met my wife in the city.

Casualty 1909

Just saw a bit of this on BBC1. When I was at Liverpool University in the 1960’s, the set used in the second series of this program, was actually the main Liverpool hospital.

A friend, who was a medical student, took some growth from underneath a floorboard and created something in a Petrie dish, that nothing could kill!

MRSA? No!  But there were some awful bugs in those days.
