The history of longitude is a record of the effort, by astronomers, cartographers and navigators over several centuries, to discover a means of determining longitude. The measurement of longitude is important to both cartography and navigation, in particular to provide safe ocean navigation. Knowledge of both latitude and longitude was required. Finding an accurate and reliable method of determining longitude took centuries of study, and involved some of the greatest scientific minds in human history.

The history of pipes in the United Kingdom stretches back to the Romans. Evidence of various degrees of engineering marvel, has been found from as far back as 43 AD when the Romans invaded England. The Romans were masters of engineering.  Through a series of Aqueduct’s, canals and rolled lead piping. Water was fed from rivers, springs and lakes to the vast network of towns, cities and garrisons.  Usually this water ended in a central location and piped to public fountains and baths. It was only the highest status and largest of houses that could be connected directly to this water supply. Throughout the Roman rule, developments in sanitary care increased and a cleaner way of living was created. By the fall of the Romans in the 6th century A.D and with the rise of the Barbarian hordes of Picts, Saxons and Irish, the Romans fled and with them England lost the secrets of the sanitary ways, civilization as we knew it collapsed it was clear the regression was inevitable and sanitation became so very basic.
