RAF Cardington is supposedly the reason that RAF Brize Norton got its name. The obvious choice for the latter is the larger town it is adjacent to - Carterton, but over the radio it was deemed this was too similar to Cardington, so the small Brize Norton village got the nod.
Also, there seems to be some mixup between World Heritage and English Heritage. No matter, the former will yield few results and the latter is already proving fruitful.

Enough room inside for two Zeppelins!
And there's another shed the same size next door to it.
I actually drove past it when they were attempting to fly one, a couple of years ago.
Sadly, it caught a gust of wind and crashed a little bit 😔

I have always thought the UNESCO list was a bit odd. Blenheim Palace? Why not St Pauls, Westminster Abbey, Hampton Court Palace?

We have 2 in Yorkshire
Fountains Abbey; where the Cistercian Monks did a lot of 'futures trading'!! (in wool)
Saltaire village/Salts Mill

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltaire
Plus, there's lobbying to get another site fairly close to me, added, due to it being presumed to be the worlds first nature reserve

We were there last month & had a walk over it (& under at the northern end)
It's about 15 years since we were last there

Alongside the boundary wall of Waterton Hall
The wall was built in the 1820s/1830s & ran for 3 miles around the estate, to try & keep poachers out
The alleged cost, back then was £9,000.........
These are 2-17 images, but I last rode through there about a month ago
(it was a bit dryer though!)

Back again one year later
I was cycling around Beaumaris Castle last week, which is UNESCO, but failed to get a pic. Has north Wales got more sites than anywhere else?

One more pic from yesterdays aqueduct ride.
The plaque is really hard to find, only visible from the, ahem, private local Angling Club track I was on
Different plaque though? Water fed from Horseshoe Falls about 7 miles away, also on my route yesterday.
