@caitlinrgreen thanks Dr Green
@caitlinrgreen Fascinating. Compare & contrast with the current @Maasvlakte_2 project in NL, nearing completion.
@newjustine @Maasvlakte_2 Interesting, thank you :) Great Wash City was planned to take c.30 yrs to complete...
@caitlinrgreen the pictures are amazing kind of the same we had in the story books in 1-2 class :)
@Umarkarim89 I agree, they're lovely and very much of their time, a real 20thC, pre-internet style of illustration!
@caitlinrgreen yeah exactly make me totally nostalgic. Our university in Lahore had also the similar architecture
Humans trying to dominate the environment rather than live in it, as usual.
True, though common sense prevailed in the end!
Thank heavens. Imagine filling The Wash with urban paraphernalia.
@caitlinrgreen @GardenNicola fascinating! I was brought up in Skegness and spent many hours in these salt marshes. Pleased preserved.
I like the scene in the upper-right photo more than the one in the lower-right!
