Early locks were designed with a single gate, known as a flash lock or staunch lock. The earliest European references to what were clearly flash locks were in Roman times.

Clifton Suspension Bridge



Clifton Suspension Bridge has become an essential piece of transport infrastructure with thousands of people and vehicles crossing every day. It was originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, in 1831, as part of a competition entry.

Brunel died in 1859 before work on the bridge began but his colleagues at ICE decided to complete the bridge as a fitting tribute to his work. Work restarted using the new design in 1862.
