New Lanark World Heritage site on the Clyde?
Never seen Stanley’s View before, does it not come up on active topics? Or have I got my eyes completely closed.

You got there in the end Gloria. It is indeed Dale's New Lanark. Seen by many as a precursor of the Co-operative Movement in England.
Next one?

They seem to be making it over the tram lines! In a few years they'll be wanting the lines back.

Well done Tom! Yes, it's laying a new road in a Netherlands town that is built on sand. I don't know if it was below sea level but the way they made the road compact and level was to pump water on the sand an 'puddle' it. Then leave it to drain.
