I think we have missed our way between posts 8926 & 8927, mis-associating Waddington, Lancashire with Waddington, Lincolnshire. I only mention this because of affectionate memories of W., Lancs. from my youth, so let's move on ......

Bath is also the site of a pioneering iron bridge built by William Hazledine.

I had noticed that somewhat diversion from the rules of this quiz, but I was in a genial mood at the time and mentally forgave the committed iniquity of that young contestant....even if he has attained the rank of an accredited forum quizmaster......

Apologies, you were right to query this posting, as I never realised the settlement being referred to was not the one I was thinking of. In hindsight, the fact the Forest of Bowland was mentioned should have made me realise, as I know its location — my intentions to make a connection were clearly thwarted as such. Given the error has passed, it would be unwise to make the game return to that point; even a Quizmaster is allowed the occasional hic-cup.
