This is correct. The one-time existence of this frame has come to light=
since the rediscovery of the Liverpool frame. There was also a frame with=
some cast iron trusses at Bretforton in Worcestershire, dating from 1823. =
We don't know all that much about either of these frames, as both have now =
gone

The Liverpool frame may not be the earliest ever made, but it's quality=
of designstill makes it quite remarkable - very cleverly engineered and co=
