In 1928 when the Kop was redesigned and extended to accommodate 30,000 spectators with a huge roof erected. It was the largest Kop in the country, and was able to hold more supporters than some entire football grounds, it remained virtually unaltered until 1994, when it was turned into an all-seater stand following the Taylor Report.

The Kop was rebuilt in 1994 after the Taylor Report and became all seated, although it is still a single tier, the capacity was significantly reduced to 12,390.

The Ronquières Inclined Plane is a Belgian canal inclined plane on the Brussels-Charleroi Canal in the province of Hainaut in Wallonia built in 1968.

The Ronquières Inclined Plane has a length of 1,432 m and lifts boats through 68 m vertically. It consists of two large caissons mounted on rails. Each caisson measures 91m long by 12 m wide and has a water depth between 3 and 3.70 m. It can carry one boat of 1,350 tonnes or many smaller boats within the same limits.

Each caisson is pulled by 8 cables wound by a winch with a 5,200 tonne capacity. This permits each caisson to be moved independently of the other.

Each caisson can be moved between the two canal levels at a speed of 1.2 m/s taking about 45 minutes in total.

The Eastern State Penitentiary is a former state prison in the United States. It is located on Fairmount Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 5 blocks north of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

It was significant architecturally, influencing the design of 250 other prisons, and is a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

Designed by John Haviland and opened in 1829, Eastern State is considered to be the world's first true penitentiary. Its revolutionary system of incarceration, dubbed the "Pennsylvania System" or Separate system, originated and encouraged solitary confinement as a form of rehabilitation. It was opposed contemporaneously by the Auburn System (also known as the New York System), which held that prisoners should be forced to work together in silence, and could be subjected to physical punishment (Sing Sing prison was an example of the Auburn system). Although the Auburn system was favored in the United States, Eastern State's radial floor plan and system of solitary confinement was the model for over 300 prisons worldwide. The name "Penitentiary" comes from the word "penance". The original goal was for prisoners to want to open up to God, thus seeking penance.
