I've been scanning some older stuff again.
I suppose this could be called CAT content:

This bulldozer was being used on the project for widening the canal that
passes our house (1995)
A fascinating funicular - this recently refurbished Victorian cliff
railway has a closed water cycle and a pump as a power source.

The water is pumped out of the car at the bottom and into the car at the
top. As soon as it's tanks are full it descends and pulls the other car
back up the cliff. We stayed in Saltburn often when I was very young and
I was always glad that the funicular was there, little legs get very
tired after a long day on the sands.
The pier used to be the longest in the UK until a ship sliced it in
half. Saltburn used to boast a top-class hotel "The Zetland" with a
"drive-in station" built for it's own luxury railway carriages.
Possibly one of the nicest spots for a holiday cottage - Runswick Bay in
North Yorkshire:

The Bay has its own microclimate. Although it is quite a long way north,
the gardens grow palms, citrus fruit trees and most of the hedges are
Fuchsias and roses.
Our holiday resort - Whitby:
When the regatta is on, they install a fairground on one of the piers -
as if the rides aren't scary enough, these are about 30 feet above and
right next to the North Sea.

No, the second one doesn't need despotting, those are stars at the top
of the sky.
Hope you like them, C+C more than welcome
