Aqueduct's World Heritage entry

An aqueduct near Wrexham could soon join the likes of the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China as a World Heritage Site.

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal has been named as the UK's 2008 nomination for the prestigious status.

The nomination was put forward by Westminster's Culture Secretary James Purnell, who said it was "a masterpiece from the canal age".
