A new PBS series follows the engineering marvels of iconic American landmarks — and its last episode, focused on the Golden Gate Bridge, premieres tomorrow.

Driving the news: The episode not only delves into the technical feat of building the bridge but also its symbolism and the cultural influence of the city's immigrant workers, many of whom scaled the catwalk every day.

What they're saying: "Our goal with this series was to ... better understand the bigger issues and societal currents they reveal," David M. Rubenstein, host and executive producer of PBS' "Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories," said in a press release.

Details: The episode on the Golden Gate Bridge features interviews with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg; Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District general manager Denis Mulligan; and other infrastructure experts.

• It also includes anecdotes from original Golden Gate workers and devotes some time to one in particular: Fong Bing Wah, or Wallace B. Fong.

Our hotel in Bath, England. Listed on the National Heritage List for England. Sir Walter Scott stayed there in 1777 as a child - he was brought to Bath as a four-year-old by his aunt, who believed the waters of the Roman bath would heal his limp, caused by an attack of poliomyelitis he was eighteen months old. The wall plaque commemorates his stay.

Along Hadrian's Wall last week…
Up and down the Whin Sil.
Rain came and went, but the views where astonishing.
