Located just outside of Kingsport, TN, Sensabaugh Tunnel is an aging, run down tunnel on Sensabaugh Road. According to legend, a baby was murdered here many years ago, either by its father or a hobo. The baby was drowned in the stream that runs through the tunnel. Today, it is said, that late at night, one can hear the baby cry. The hobo's footsteps can also be heard. It is also said that if one parks in the tunnel, and kills their ignition, their car will not start.\n\nOn March 13, we decided to vist the tunnel. This was my first visit (previously, I had visited the wrong place). Unfortunately (or fortunately), we did not experience anything especially out of the ordinary, though some photos did show some orbs:

Aqueduct.\n\nAn aqueduct is an artificial (man-made) channel that is constructed to convey water from one location to another. The word derives from the Latin words aqua, "water", and ducere, "to lead". Many aqueducts are raised above the landscape, resembling bridges rather than rivers. Sufficiently large aqueducts may also be usable by ships. They are similar to viaducts, but carry water instead of a road or railway. While a road bridge often carries the roadway at a more elevated level than the rest of the road, such a variation of height is not possible for an aqueduct.

Scaffel Pike is only 3209ft high. Its an approx 4.5mile walk, so top to bottom in a couple of hours should be easy enough.

The "secret" is rebar (reinforcing bars of iron).  Poured concrete is of cource fluid and would leak unless poured into water-proof forms (slabs).  The rebar becomes embedded in the concrete and gives it extra strength once the concrete is cured.  Thus the road bed is much thinner than the main supports (that hold up the weight of traffic and the entire bridge).

I believe it was the Romans. They used it to build their aqueducts and the Coliseum.\n\nThe cement used by the Romans is different from the cement used today. The formula for the Roman cement has been lost to history.

I have researched this pretty thoroughly and just cannot find any mention of a highwayman called Jack Ridden anywhere.  I researched Handcross for you and they do not appear to have any famous cave that they care to show visitors.  They have a map on their web which is of no help either.\n\nhttp://www.britinfo.net/index_Handcross.htm\n\nThe Sussex coast is full of caves (mainly used by smugglers).  I tried most coastal towns using "Jack Ridden's Cave", but came up with nothing.  Sorry.\n\nCould this be a character from a novel?  If it is from English myth and folklore, then it is so obscure as to be invisible!!

This ancient fortification, situated about half-a-mile north of the town, and in the parish of Selattyn, was formerly known by the names of Hen Dinas (Old.City) and Caer Ogyrfan (the Fort of Ogyrfan, or it may be translated Caer-y-GrydUfan (the Camp of the Field of Conflict), but is now more familiarly recognised under the modern title of Old Oswestry, in contradistinction to the new Oswestry named after Oswald.\nThe hill, which stands alone, is 540 feet above sea level, and some 200 feet above the surrounding country, the line of Wat's Dyke passing over the western side, Offa's Dyke lying about two-and-a-half miles westward.

Rennie.  \nHis London Bridge granite facings were shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and built into a new bridge there in 1971. \nThe great breakwater at Plymouth England make it the one of the best harbours in the world for close to 200 years.\nIt took a while to find the name :)

The site of London has been inhabited since prehistoric times and developed for many reasons. The River Thames gave easy access to the sea and it provided a navigable way far up stream. It has a number of tributaries which in the past were also navigable. London developed at the first point where the Thames was relatively easy to cross. The river provided a constant water source and also gave a huge supply of fish. The flat marshy land around was full of wildfowl which were also used as food. Within easy distance were large forests which gave building material and fuel also open land which was perfect for grazing sheep. Land on the flood planes of the Thames is very fertile and so crops grow with ease. All in all an ideal place for a city to develop. I think that Winston Churchill summed it very well when he described the Thames as "That silver thread running through the history of England"
