UK PLC still big on the innovation scene

It is reassuring to know that the UK is still a significant player in the worldwide innovation scene.

The UK was the historic powerhouse of innovation: it created the industrial revolution!  Many people might not know this but the UK is home to a World Heritage Site (the Derwent Valley Mills, in Derbyshire), which includes what some argue is the world's first factory (the Silk Mill in Derby).

Of course, the UK was also home to some of the world's most famous scientists (particularly those around the 17th century), such as Sir Isaac Newton.

The UK has pioneered many of the world's first innovations.

So, it's good to see we still have a significant presence, as illustrated in:
