Smeaton's Bridge, Perth
The prosperity of Perth has always relied on a safe crossing of the river Tay into the towen.  In 1621 the main bridge was washed away in a flood.  It took until 1771 before a replacement was built.  John Smeaton, architect of the Eddystone Lighthouse, was commission to design a new bridge.  The bridge has survived many floods since then and is still in use today, having been widened in the 19th century. [url=http://streetmap.co.uk/map?X=312031&Y=723823&A=Y&Z=110/] Map location. [/url]
