A late 19th century view of the Pass of Ballater, immediately east of the Cairngorm Mountains in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Ballater’s origins date back to the early 1300s when the area became part of the estates of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John. Its location has always been a strategically important one, commanding both the Dee Valley and Glen Gairn, running north to Strathdon. The road to Braemar in the photograph, was just a track, now known as the Pass of Ballater.

RM2G1FTE7–A late 19th century view of Bristol Harbour in the city of Bristol, England. The harbour, formerly the natural tidal River Avon was made into its current form in 1809 when the tide was prevented from going out permanently. A tidal by-pass was dug for 2 miles through the fields of Bedminster for the river, known as the 'River Avon New Cut', 'New Cut', or simply 'The Cut'. It is often called the Floating Harbour as the water level remains constant and it is not affected by the tide.
