As the constructions of the reservoirs in Hong Kong in the past, villages were relocated by the government with compensation.
Shing Mun New Village 城門新村:
In 1933 the Shing Mun Reservoir was built and completed in 1937 to meet the increasing demand for fresh water in Hong Kong. The reservoir was completed in 1937. The local Hakka villages were resettled in other parts of the New Territories. The villagers in Shing Mun Village were relocated to Shing Mun New Village in Kam Tin.
Sam Mun Tsai New Village 三門仔新村:
The construction of the Plover Cove Reservoir necessitated the displacement of the inhabitants of a number of Hakka villages which were covered by the reservoir. The Hakka villagers were compensated by the Hong Kong British colonial government with apartments and shop units along Kwong Fuk Road in Tai Po which were built for their resettlement there. Fishermen who live at the original Sam Mun Tsai site, close to Pak Sha Tau, now at the northeastern shore of Reservoir, were relocated to Sam Mun Tsai New Village on the island of Yim Tin Tsai in 1966.
Sai Kung Man Yee Wan and Sha Tsui New Village西貢萬宜灣沙咀新村:
In the 1970s the Hong Kong government decided to construct High Island Reservoir and ten villages, including Lan Nai Wan爛泥灣村 (or Man Yee Wan Village 萬宜灣村, Pak Tam Chung and Sha Tsui, were submerged by rising water or fell within the catchment area of the reservoir after construction. The villagers were then relocated to areas near Sai Kung Old Town and Sai Kung Man Yee Wan and Sha Tsui New Village.

August 12, 2010 - Dauphin Island, Alabama. Loggerhead turtle hatchlings rest in a cooler before being transported to the eastern shore of Florida. The turtles hatched from a nest that was scheduled to be relocated, but when biologists dug up the nest, they found that the eggs had started to hatch. The nest was covered again so the turtles could hatch and be collected. Credit: Catherine J. Hibbard/USFWS www.fws.gov/home/dhoilspill/
Another view of this historic one-room schoolhouse which was originally built in 1830 and was located on Franklin Ave. The building was relocated in 1862 to Thompson Ave and eventually closed by the school district in 1913. After that it was used as a chicken coop for awhile. The folks at SUNY Oswego had the building relocated, to its current site, and their maintenance crew made improvements to the structure. The schoolhouse depicts how students received an education in the late 1800s. Inside there are antique school desks, an old wood stove, a display of vintage books and a map dating back to 1817. There are also two mannequins, one of a student and another of a teacher, both outfitted in attire appropriate for the late 1800s. The building today also serves as the O'Mara Welcome Center. Located on Route 104 West in Oswego, NY. (O3/30)

Moving house can be a stressful, time consuming and costly process, which begs the question why do so many people choose to do it? From lack of space to a new job, this article will serve to explain the top 10 reasons why people decide to pack everything in cardboard boxes and move…
1. Need more space
First time home buyers positioning themselves on the property ladder often outgrow their starter home and need to upsize to a larger house with plans to start a family.
2. Upgrade
Deciding whether to improve your property or move house entirely can be difficult. Becoming restless at home is a common problem, with many people getting itchy feet to upgrade to a bigger, more desirable home.
3. New job
A new job can mean relocating to a different area if the commuting distance is simply too long or travelling from your current home to your new job is completely unfeasible.
4. Empty nest
When the kids are all grown up and have moved out of the family home, many choose to downsize to a smaller home as they no longer need all the extra space.
5. Relationships
Choosing to move in with a partner is typically a significant stage in any relationship and is one of the main reasons people relocate. It can often mean that one will need to sell their house if both owned homes prior to the decision. On the other hand, break ups can also result in moving house, as one person’s income may not be able to support the price of the home or one individual may need to buy the other out.
6. Visit family more often
For many people, living closer to their family is very important and can be one of the key reasons people choose to move house. As the family unit extends to several generations, parents want to be nearer their children, and grandparents prefer to live nearer their children and grandchildren.
7. Catchment area for schools
More and more people are moving house to catchment areas where their children will be a higher priority for admission to their school of choice. Parents who are keen to send their child to a particular school may not fall within the specific catchment area in their current home, meaning many decide to relocate.
8. Change of scenery/lifestyle
Those feeling unsettled in their current home or searching for a fresh start are most likely to uproot and move to a different location. Whether you want to move from the bright lights of the city to the peaceful countryside or vice versa, many decide that a change of scenery is the ideal option for them.
9. Cost of running a house
A change of income or need to save money means many choose to relocate to an area where the running costs of a house are much lower. From the price of the house itself to rent or bills, the expense of owning and running a house can cause many to move to a different area.
10. Changes in the surrounding area
Since originally moving into your current home, the neighbourhood might have significantly deteriorated for economic, social or physical reasons. This might mean that you choose to relocate to an area where you feel much happier and more comfortable in your surroundings.
Day 151 of 365 (Friday) - Despite the clouds and drizzle, we all needed a day by the sea. We decided to walk and see what caught our eye. I was surprised to find this intact light bulb on the line of things that had been washed up. It nestled quite nicely against the fish spine. The two chalk pieces had been placed on a groyne by a previous person, and so I incorporated them into the mix. Not much time to execute this one. The children added extra decoration before we left for a cafe, allowing it to be consumed once again by the sea. We are a big fan of ephemeral art. In this instance however I did remove the bulb, concerned it might injure someone.

Republic of Korea Defense Minister Han, Min-koo visited U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys May 11. The visit was conducted as part of a safety and quality assurance check at Humphreys construction sites as the Yongsan Relocation Plan and Land Partnership Plan continues to proceed.
Residents residing on All Hallowes Road as well as those seeking adventure down the Fraser River can now access the road more safely thanks the addition of a left turning lane.
To make the area more accessible the west side of Highway 1 was widened and six utility poles were relocated. Also, along Highway 1, the west side of the slope had to be excavated and re-stabilized to accommodate these changes.
These adjustments have improved the sight distance and sight angle for drivers and have also provided additional shouldering that will allow vehicles to pull off of Highway 1 sooner before turning onto All Hallowes Road.

Auckland Castle, which is also known as Auckland Palace and to people that live locally as the Bishop's Castle or Bishop's Palace, is located in the town of Bishop Auckland in County Durham, England. In 1832, this castle replaced Durham Castle as the official residence of the Bishops of Durham. It is now a tourist attraction, but still houses the Bishop's offices; the Castle is a Grade I listed building.
The history of Auckland Castle goes back to the 12th century. Previously a deer park, Bishop Hugh Pudsey established a manor house on the site in around 1183. Because it was near to his hunting estate, a successor, Bishop Bek, relocated his main residence from Durham Castle to Auckland and he later converted the manor house into a castle. In this process, he added the great hall, the chapel and the defensive walls.
In 1603 after the Union of the Crowns, Tobias Matthew invited Anne of Denmark, Prince Henry, and Princess Elizabeth to stay at Auckland on their journey from Scotland to London. After the disestablishment of the Church of England at the end of the First English Civil War in 1646, Auckland Castle was sold to Sir Arthur Hazelrigg, who demolished much of the medieval building, including the original two-storey chapel, and built a mansion. After the Restoration of the Monarchy, Bishop John Cosin, in turn demolished Hazelrigg's mansion and rebuilt the castle converting the banqueting hall into the chapel that stands today.
In 1756, Bishop Richard Trevor bought the notable set of paintings, Jacob and his twelve sons, by Francisco de Zurbarán which still hang in the Long Dining Room. It is possible that the seventeenth century paintings were intended for South America. However they never reached their supposed destination, eventually coming into the possession of James Mendez who sold twelve of the thirteen to Bishop Trevor in 1757.
Bishop Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, Benjamin, which was sold separately to the Duke of Ancaster and hangs in Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire. Bishop Trevor commissioned Arthur Pond to produce a copy painting of "Benjamin". The copy, together with the 12 originals, hang in the castle's Long Dining Room, which Bishop Trevor had redesigned especially to take the pictures.
The Throne Room
Shute Barrington, Bishop of Durham from 1791 to 1826, employed the eminent architect James Wyatt to match the disparate architecture of the palace in the late 18th century, including its Throne Room and Garden Screen. In 1832, when William van Mildert, the last prince-bishop, gave over Durham Castle to found Durham University, Auckland Castle became the sole episcopal seat of the See of Durham.
In 2001 the Church Commissioners voted to sell the paintings, a decision that was revoked in 2011 following a donation of £15 million by investment manager and philanthropist Jonathan Ruffer; new arrangements placed the paintings, along with the castle, under the Auckland Castle Trust, making them available to the public after centuries during which they hung in a private home where they could be seen only by invited guests or by special arrangement with the Bishop's staff.
News reports in 2019 clarified the situation, stating that in 2012, Ruffer had purchased the castle and all of the contents, including the artwork, which included the works by Francisco de Zurbarán. The paintings which had been on tour, were returned to the site in time for the re-opening of the castle to visitors on 2 November 2019 as the Auckland Project, after a multi-million pound restoration project, funded partly by the National Lottery.
By the time of the opening day, a new 115-foot (35 m) high tower had been erected as a visitor centre; the structure has a lift and a staircase as well as balconies for views of the castle from above. The interior had been fully restored, including the bishops' "palatial" quarters. According to one news item, "each of the 14 restored rooms, recreated from contemporary accounts and personal recollections" features the career of one former bishop. The Faith Museum of world religion and a huge glass greenhouse were under construction on Castle property.
Other attractions already operating at or near the Castle include the Mining Art Gallery (in a nearby former bank building) showing work mainly by self-taught or night school-educated miners; this attraction opened in 2017 (thanks to support provided to the Castle Trust by Bishop Auckland and Shildon AAP and Durham County Council); an open-air theatre, Kynren, depicting "An Epic Tale of England" with a cast of 1,000; and the Bishop Trevor Gallery at the Castle; the latter started displaying the National Gallery's Masterpiece touring exhibit in October 2019.
In future, other attractions were expected to open at or near the Castle: a display of Spanish art (in another former bank building) the Faith Museum (already being built in 2019), a gallery that will feature the works of Francisco de Zurbarán, a boutique hotel (in former pubs) and two restaurants in addition to the current Bishop's Kitchen café.
According to The Guardian,
"The aim is to make the town – the heart of the abandoned Durham coalfields – a tourist destination that holds people for a day or two rather than just a couple of hours. The scheme will create hundreds of entry-level jobs in a county that suffers high unemployment and has some of the most deprived areas in northern Europe".
In February 2020, it was announced that the ruins of Bek's chapel had been found at the castle by archeologists. It had long been known that the chapel which would have been one of the largest in Europe, was located on the castle grounds, but its location was unknown. The chapel was built by the warrior-bishop Anthony Bek in roughly 1300 at a cost of £148. There will be a special exhibition at Auckland Castle from 4 March 2020 to 6 September 2020 to display items found in the ruins.
Despite the conservation work and its operation as a tourist attraction, the Castle still houses the offices of the Bishop of Durham in its Scotland Wing and services are held in the chapel. Interestingly, the Scotland Wing is so named from its historical accommodation of Scots prisoners.
Auckland Castle owns 12 of the 13 celebrated 17th-century paintings in the series Jacob and his twelve sons, by Francisco de Zurbarán, depicting Jacob and his 12 sons.
The Castle is surrounded by a deer park of 800 acres (3.2 km2) of parkland. It retains many of the medieval elements, including the fish ponds and woodland paths, providing an important record of how the medieval bishops lived, entertained and hunted there.
The grounds, Auckland Castle Park, have been Grade II listed since 7 October 1986 (List Entry Number: 1000727) while the Castle has been Grade I listed since 21 April 1952 (List Entry Number: 1196444).
The Castle and its grounds contain seven Grade I listed buildings. These include a Deer House, which was built in 1760, a large castellated-stone building to shelter the deer, with picnic grounds and rooms that afford a fantastic view. The Park's listing summary states:
A medieval deer park associated with the residence of the bishops of Durham, Auckland Castle, which has C12 or earlier origins, with landscaping of C18 date. Walled gardens around the Castle are of late C17 or earlier origin, as is the kitchen garden.
The bishop of Durham is responsible for the diocese of Durham in the province of York. The diocese is one of the oldest in England and its bishop is a member of the House of Lords. Paul Butler has been the bishop of Durham since his election was confirmed at York Minster on 20 January 2014. The previous bishop was Justin Welby, now archbishop of Canterbury.
The bishop is officially styled The Right Reverend (First Name), by Divine Providence Lord Bishop of Durham, but this full title is rarely used. In signatures, the bishop's family name is replaced by Dunelm, from the Latin name for Durham (the Latinised form of Old English Dunholm). In the past, bishops of Durham varied their signatures between Dunelm and the French Duresm. Prior to 1836 the bishop had significant temporal powers over the liberty of Durham and later the county palatine of Durham. The bishop, with the bishop of Bath and Wells, escorts the sovereign at the coronation.
Durham Castle was a residence of the bishops from its construction in the 11th century until 1832, when it was given to the University of Durham to use as a college. Auckland Castle then became the bishops' main residence until July 2012, when it was sold to the Auckland Castle Trust. The bishop continues to have offices there.
History
The bishop of Lindisfarne is an episcopal title which takes its name after the tidal island of Lindisfarne, which lies just off the northeast coast of Northumberland, England. The title was first used by the Anglo-Saxons between the 7th and 10th centuries. In the reign of Æthelstan (924–939) Wigred, thought by Simon Keynes to have been Bishop of Chester-le-Street, attested royal charters. According to George Molyneaux, the church of St Cuthbert "was in all probability the greatest landholder between the Tees and the Tyne". Traditionally, following the chronology of the twelfth-century writer Symeon of Durham, historians have believed that the body of St Cuthbert and centre of the diocese lay at Chester-le-Street from the ninth century until 995, but recent research has suggested that the bishops may have been based at Norham on the River Tweed until after 1013.[6] [7] The title of "bishop of Lindisfarne" is now used by the Roman Catholic Church for a titular see.
The Anglo-Saxon bishops of Lindisfarne were ordinaries of several early medieval episcopal sees (and dioceses) in Northumbria and pre-Conquest England. The first such see was founded at Lindisfarne in 635 by Saint Aidan.
From the 7th century onwards, in addition to his spiritual authority, the bishops of Lindisfarne, and then Durham, also acted as the civil ruler of the region as the lord of the liberty of Durham, with local authority equal to that of the king. The bishop appointed all local officials and maintained his own court. After the Norman Conquest, this power was retained by the bishop and was eventually recognised with the designation of the region as the County Palatine of Durham. As holder of this office, the bishop was both the earl of the county and bishop of the diocese. Though the term 'prince-bishop' has become a common way of describing the role of the bishop prior to 1836, the term was unknown in Medieval England.
A UNESCO site describes the role of the bishops as a "buffer state between England and Scotland":
From 1075, the bishop of Durham became a prince-bishop, with the right to raise an army, mint his own coins, and levy taxes. As long as he remained loyal to the king of England, he could govern as a virtually autonomous ruler, reaping the revenue from his territory, but also remaining mindful of his role of protecting England's northern frontier.
A 1788 report adds that the bishops had the authority to appoint judges and barons and to offer pardons.
Except for a brief period of suppression during the English Civil War, the bishopric retained this temporal power until it was abolished by the Durham (County Palatine) Act 1836 with the powers returned to the Crown. A shadow of the former temporal power can be seen in the bishop's coat of arms, which contains a coronet as well as a mitre and crossed crozier and sword. The bishop of Durham also continued to hold a seat in the House of Lords; that has continued to this day by virtue of the ecclesiastical office.
This small lighthouse presents a contrast to the bigger affair on Sumburgh Head in the background. It dates from 1897 when it was erected at Muckle Roe using paraffin for the lamp; in 1937 it switched to acetylene gas and later propane gas. It was removed in 2001, when a new light using solar panels took over, and has been re-erected here by the road to Sumburgh Head.
The World of Coca-Cola, located in Pemberton Place at 121 Baker Street NW, opened to the public on May 24, 2007. It relocated from its original location adjacent to Underground Atlanta, which first opened in 1991 and saw over nine million visitors in its sixteen years. The museum features exhibits on the history of the world's most famous soft drink including over 1,200 artifacts ranging from vintage bottles to a 1939 delivery truck from Argentina, the vault where the secret formula is stred, a fully-functioning bottling line, the Taste It exhibit where visitors can taste more than 100 different variations on the formula from around the world, and 4-D movie experience, "In Search of the Secret Formula."
Pemberton Place, a 20-acre site named for John S. Pemberton, the pharmacist who created Coca-Cola in 1886, is home to the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, and the planned National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

Beeston Railway Station which is part of the Midland Main Line 123 miles from London. The station was built in 1839 for the Midland Counties Railway and services began on 4 June 1839. The original station building, which was little more than a cottage, was replaced in 1847 with the substantially larger white brick building with ashlar trimmings which still exists. This is notable for its carved bargeboards, some remaining diagonal paned windows and the pseudo-heraldic shields with 'MR' and '1847'. The wooden platform canopies and adjacent wrought-iron and glass canopy were installed in 1871. The wooden platform canopies were originally located at Southwell railway station, and were relocated to Beeston when Southwell was rebuilt.
The growth of Beeston led to substantial expansion of the station facilities in the Edwardian period. An extension containing a large booking hall, ladies' waiting room and parcels office was added to the rear of the station building, doubling its floorspace. In 1937 the Midland Railway drew up plans for an additional waiting room on platform 2 but the plan was never put into action.
With the decline in passenger numbers in the 1980s, the entire station suffered from vandalism and neglect, and British Rail proposed complete demolition. A spirited campaign by the local civic society and rail historians led to the listing of the station building in 1987. A separate listing application was made in the early 1990s and the platform shelters were also listed. This was followed by restoration of what remained of the 1847 building and the platform shelters. The (architecturally undistinguished) extension was demolished, revealing the original gables on the north side of the building.

With the relocation of the battalion staff to Haamstede, the Slotbos literally came to lie in the center of the newly to be formed Stützpunktgruppe Schouwen. A strategic location that, due to the extensive deciduous forest, also offered good camouflage from the air and from the ground. There was also sufficient surface area to house not only the battalion staff, but also an associated infantry reserve. Both functions were placed in two physically distinguishable positions, but were designated as one Widerstandsnest, the Wn.322 H. The command post was located on either side of the Moolweg in the western part of the forest.

HEADSTONE FOR WILLIAM HENRY SANDERCOCK died 21 Jul 1882 aged 23, following a mine accident, buried in Echunga Wesleyan Cemetery.
“SANDERCOCK - On the 21st July, at his brother-in-law's residence, Echunga, after a painful illness, William Henry, the beloved husband of Mary Adelaide Sandercock, and son-in-law of S. Lean, Adelaide, aged 23 years. Much respected by a large circle of friends. New Zealand papers please copy.” [Advertiser
The man Sandercock, who was injured by a fall of earth at the King mine, Echunga, on Friday, June 16, died on Saturday. An inquest was held before Mr. T. J. S. O'Halloran, S.M., this morning, The evidence disclosed that death resulted from an accident that-it was impossible to foresee, and that all needful precautions had been taken by the manager. Mr. Stephen Lean. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, adding that no blame was attachable to anyone.” [Express & Telegraph 24 Jul 1882]
“John Rundle Sandercock, miner, Echunga, deposed— Deceased was my brother. He was twenty-eight years old. On 16th June last was working in the shaft at the King Mine, near Echunga. Deceased and Edward Rule were there also. Were making preparations for putting in a set of timber. Soon after deceased came down a piece of ground, about four feet from bottom of the shaft, fell in and caused more to come from behind the timber, burying deceased entirely, and Rule up to his knees. Called immediately for assistance; and witness, Wm. Hammatt, James Climm, and Wm. Oates assisted to extricate deceased and Rule. The work took about 2½ hours. Deceased was seriously injured, and Rule (who is now in the Adelaide Hospital) had his foot broken. . . Stephen Lean, Manager of the King Gold Mining Company, gave corroborative evidence, and added that about 6 feet had been sunk under the timber in order to further secure the ground, which was a clay slate and not dangerous. Shaft was 80 feet deep at time of accident. . . Octavus Weld, legally qualified medical practitioner, cave evidence, from which it appeared that deceased had met with severe injuries from which blood poisoning set in, and caused his death. The Jury returned a verdict that the cause of death was purely accidental, and that no blame was attachable to any person.” [Register 25 Jul 1882]
“The funeral of the unfortunate man, Sandercock, who was fatally injured in the late accident at the King Gold Mine, took place on Sunday last, and was the largest ever known here, close on 400 mourners and sympathisers following the corpse to the grave. . . utmost sympathy is felt here for the relatives of the unfortunate man, and the entertainment to be given on their behalf on Monday evening next is likely to be largely attended. It was originally fixed for the 20th inst., when poor Sandercock was still alive, but he getting very much worse that day, and death being clearly close at hand it was postponed.” [Southern Argus 3 Aug 1882]
HEADSTONE FOR CHARLES COOPER, his wife Ann nee Sandford, their son Thomas aged 12 years and grandson Richard Vernon Saint, buried in Echunga Wesleyan Cemetery. Richard Vernon was 2-year-old son of Robert William Saint & Ann Elizabeth nee Cooper.
