No, not the start of Templot. That was in 1979, but not today. :)

The famous Iron Bridge across the River Severn in Shropshire has been restored twice. The first restoration was to mark the bridge's bicentenary in 1979.

Here is some writing by Anthony Blackwall, Shropshire County Bridgemaster at the time, about events on 5th July 1979:

from "Historic Bridges of Shropshire", Shropshire Libraries, 1985

The bridge has recently been restored again, a multi-million pounds project by English Heritage:
