@Amynearlyknowledgeable That is a lovely photo of the Hay Inclined Plane at Coalport. I have only seen it looking down from the top at Blists Hill, where it looks like this.

"Most of the biggest cities have been losing population over the 20th century. The population of Manhattan peaked around 1920, for example, and a lot of other metropolitan inner-cities peaked in population around the 1950s (such as Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore, etc.) That trend has only started turning around very recently, and only in some places."
