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.

The mainline railroad track in the DeLand area was constructed by the Plant System's Jacksonville Tampa & Key West Railway in 1886. The JT&KW constructed a spur from its mainline to downtown DeLand and built a depot on South Amelia Avenue. The JT&KW was taken over by the Atlantic Coast Line in 1902, and the DeLand ACL depot was relocated to West Michigan Avenue after the old JT&KW depot burned in 1911. Today's DeLand Amtrak depot is located not on the downtown spur but right at the CSX mainline (A-line).
Meanwhile, the Orange Ridge, DeLand & Atlantic Railroad had been established in 1880. It eventually ran west to the St. John's River, and the depot shown here at Stetson College likely was at the eastern end of the ORD&A line, near the college's main buildings on DeLand's Minnesota Avenue. The ORD&A was renamed the DeLand and St. Johns River Railroad in 1886, and was absorbed by the aforementioned Jacksonville Tampa & Key West Railway in 1890.

Part of any culvert project includes relocating fish and other aquatic species downstream of the project area. During this work through Gribble Creek on SR 9 in Skagit County more than 3,000 Coho salmon, Cutthroad trout, newts, salamandars, crawdads and more were removed and relocated downstream.
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.

Rip Rap Islands serve as crucial nesting ground for seabirds near the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel in coastal Virginia. Currently, species that rely on the island include the royal tern, common tern, gull-billed tern, sandwich tern, herring gull, laughing gull, great black-backed gull, black skimmer, and snowy egret.
For decades before the expansion of the HRBT, two artificial islands anchored the underwater tunnels and housed the large colony of seabirds. The construction made these islands unsuitable nesting grounds.
In February 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam tasked the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources with relocating the colony. A quick yet massive renovation of Fort Wool, a Civil War-era military installment built in 1819, transformed Rip Rap Islands into a landscape for the seabird colony similar to the barrier islands. Along with Fort Wool, DWR leased three flat-top barges to create additional habitat next to Rip Rap Islands for the birds to nest. July 15, 2021 (Photo by Aileen Devlin | Virginia Sea Grant)
Covering two floors of this office building in Fleet Place, London, Mansfield Monk designed a fresh working environment that consolidated the two businesses who were relocating to the new offices. The design reflects the individuality, creativity and passion of both parts of the business.
This was a surprise to see today, while out at the Pumpkin Patch at Impossible Acres Farm. This is the Tank House, that used to be at the Hunt Boyer Mansion downtown, but was moved, and then vanished completely, presumed dismantled. Well, it wasn't - it was sold to this farm (for just $11), who had to cut it in half to move it, and are planning to restore it and use it as a proper historic tankhouse. Very nice.
I drew it previously (see: www.flickr.com/photos/petescully/4651356243), when it had forst been moved to make way fro the new Mishka's cafe, but when it was moved again I thought it was gone. Apparently not!
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.
Newly constructed nomad vilage in Ga Ermagun. The Chinese are trying to relocate 1.7 M nomads into villages like this by the end of 2015 in the name of progress, with complete disregard to their need to move and be with their livestock. Almost all the villages were empty.
Rawtenstall's former town hall, set for partial demolition in plans to relocate the town's bus station.
"The Victorian Society is urging Rossendale Council not to demolish Rawtenstall’s former town hall. It argues that the building should at least be advertised on the open market before any decision is taken. The Society intends to lodge a formal objection and congratulates the Friends of Rawtenstall on their work rising awareness of the building’s plight.
The former town hall started out as an ‘Exchange Club’ for stock traders built in ‘a striped palazzo style’. After becoming the town hall the building was extended with three exactly matching bays. The high quality local stone building plays an important part in the conservation area and gives a sense of the historic nature of Rawtenstall - where a large part of the historic stone built town centre was demolished in the 1960s for a shopping centre. The Council should learn from the mistakes of the 1960s and create plan for the conservation area which ensures that the former town hall is brought back into rather than replacing it with a bus station and new offices as is currently the case."

I always make a search for snakes, toads and frogs before I mow the back yard. I found this little Northern Brown Snake in front of the shed. The snake has a scar (bump) on the second curve from the head but was in good shape - I let the snake go under the new shed (it is up on bricks).
The station building was moved across the river, where it remains today. The goods shed was demolished.
there were times we could get out of the car and move very close before they would fly...other times the only shots would be from the car before they left to relocate

These pictures are of a Jo-Ann fabrics store in Elyria, Ohio relocating from an older location (former US Merchandise store) in a dying shopping center to a larger (former Sofa Express) store in a shopping center anchored by Giant Eagle, Target, and Home Depot. This move makes at least the second time Jo-Ann has relocated in Elyria; possibly the third time if they were originally a mall tenant like other older Jo-Ann stores were commonly.

Almost 3500 internally displaced people have been successfully relocated from the UN Protection of Civilians site in Juba to a new site within the community in a joint effort between the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and humanitarian agencies.
“This is the first movement of displaced people of this magnitude out of the UN Juba protection site. Almost all of those relocated were women and children,” said the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of UNMISS, David Shearer. “They had expressed a strong desire to leave the UN site and to be reunited with their husbands and other family members. Early indications and, in my discussions with those who moved, is that they are pleased to be back in the wider community.”
The combined effort to relocate the families to an existing site at Mangateen in the central city followed an UNMISS-negotiated end to sporadic fighting between various groups within the UN protection camp over the past few weeks that threatened vulnerable civilians inside. Once a resolution was reached and people expressed a desire to leave, humanitarian agencies and UNMISS worked quickly and cooperatively to establish temporary housing at Mangateen along with clean water, sanitation and health services.
“All those involved in the relocation process realized the seriousness of the situation given the large number of vulnerable women and children being moved. It was a true team effort to carry out the massive logistical task of transporting and supporting these families in a new location within just a few days,” said David Shearer.
The Mangateen site has traditionally been managed by the South Sudan Government’s Relief and Rehabilitation Commission and it will continue to do so. Humanitarian agencies will provide additional assistance on request.
“I am particularly grateful for the Government’s rapid response to this situation which ensured that people were able to be safely moved and accommodated back in the community,” said David Shearer.
“Hundreds of thousands of people fled to UN protection sites across South Sudan out of fear for their lives during the ongoing conflict. But these camps are not a good long-term option for families,” said David Shearer. “If people have the trust and confidence that the environment is safe enough for them to voluntarily return home, UNMISS is poised to assist them. But providing that confidence in the security situation very much lies with the Government.”

The last day of operation at the old site was Sunday March 2 2014 and the first day at the new site was Monday March 17. During this period a shuttle bus operated to the council's other library in Springvale.
That accumulator is really awesome. Jeff is going to help me make motor mounts at some point so that I can mount the pump properly.

The swarming honeybees have kept me very busy this spring. As the first night falls on the new colony most of the bees will move inside and begin the task of building comb. Just before darkness sets in I climb a 12' ladder, temporarily close off the entrance, slide the box onto my shoulder and carry it down to the apiary, otherwise known as my backyard. Moving them as soon as possible will prevent the foragers from learning this location as their new home. On the first morning after a swarm has moved house the foragers will begin orientation flights and use their built in GPS system to quickly learn how to navigate to and from their new location.
