The workmen were hard at work well before dawn moving gravel to in front of the sea wall in Stokes Bay. The sea has recently been under mining the sea wall. Hopefully the gravel will protect it for a while.

Workmen shovel in the falling snow amidst the steaming 'gloop' from one of the the conveyor outfalls of the Beichang Washery at Chengzihe near Jixi, as the their working ponies wait patiently whilst the carts are loaded up. Nothing went to waste in north east China in the depths of winter and the 'gloop' waste is a highly sought after commodity by households for both warmth and fuel for cooking.

“The two workmen made identical movements, and Harry mirrored them without conscious thought: All three of them drew their wands. Ron, a few seconds late in realizing what was going on, lunged across the table, pushing Hermione sideways onto her bench. The force of the Death Eaters’ spells shattered the tiled wall where Ron’s head had just been, as Harry, still invisible, yelled, “Stupefy!”

While a pretty simple build, it was hard NOT to do this one.
I’ve had the cmf battle goddess saved up for a while, because her helmet reminds me of pasta. Originally I’d given up on making a build with it, but then this perfect opportunity arose and I added it last-minute.
Fun fact: this and “The Wedding” were the single most re-shot pictures in the entire series, each being re-done and re-edited a total of 7 times. Insane? Definitely. Why? Why not!

Workmen's Circle was a Jewish fraternal organization rooted in the labor movement in New York City. By 1917, Detroit's branch of the Workmen's Circle was the largest in the nation. This cemetery was built in 1919.
I passed this while driving the Gratiot Cruise a couple of weeks ago in Clinton Twp.
The Ancient Order of United Workmen Temple is a historic building, completed in 1892 and located at the intersection of Southwest 2nd Avenue and Taylor Street in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. As of mid-2016, the building is planned to be demolished, to be replaced by new development.
The building was designed by Justus F. Krumbein, also the architect of the second Oregon State Capitol. The style has elements of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and, according to Restore Oregon, is one of the city's most prominent remaining buildings from the 1890s.
Originally serving as a club and office for the Ancient Order of United Workmen fraternal organization, it later became the Tourny Apartments. Portland architect Richard Sundeleaf made modifications in 1942 and 1946, and Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects in 1980.
As of November 2015, the City of Portland deemed the building unsafe, and it was removed from the city's Historic Resource Inventory. This opened the possibility of demolition. -Wiki
The Halifax Branch Canal in Halifax, Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
The canal was a branch line of the still running Calder and Hebble Navigation Canal. The Canal opened in 1828, having been authorised by Act of Parliament in 1825. It was a major breakthrough, bringing 'cheap' coal to Halifax and it was one of the key events of the Industrial Revolution. There were fourteen locks which raised the canal one hundred feet from Salterhebble to the town's terminal basin, known as Bailey Hall. (Close to the present Nestlé factory, previously Mackintosh's toffee factory, home of the famous 'Quality Street' brand.)
Along the canal horse-drawn barges were used to bring coal to the John Holdsworth & Co Ltd.’s Shaw Lodge Mills boiler house where boilers generated steam to drive the massive steam engines, as well as to heat the buildings. Coal was also used by the Company to produce coal gas, which was required for indoor lighting. Workmen used to unload two barges a day, each bringing about thirty-six tons of coal to Shaw Lodge Mills.
The canal was rapidly superseded by the railways and fell into disrepair and was finally abandoned by Warrant of the Minister of Transport in 1942. Whilst the route of the canal is visible through the valley, the canal walls and bed are no longer visible. There is still evidence of many of the old structures such as bridges although very few of the lock workings are visible.
Although there are currently no plans to reopen the canal, nor to restore it, as it would not be cost effective, the historic nature of the canal and features such as the sites of locks mean that it has been protected by the Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council from development which would see the remaining features removed or obliterated.
