Thanks for the suggestion. I've now seen three of the episodes, they're high quality stuffOriginally posted by molly bloom
Three years ago the B.B.C. broadcast a series called 'The Seeven Wonders of the Industrial World'. It featured:
The Bell Rock Lighthouse
The 'Great Eastern'
Bazalgette's London sewers
The Transcontinental Railway
The Brooklyn Bridge
The Panama Canal
The Hoover Dam
There's also a book to accomany the boxed dvd set .
I'd also recommend 'Ancient Inventions' by Peter James & Nick Thorpe.
