[Mike the Mayor 51]

Very nice update there, my friend. Beautiful pictures!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Great work, very British. I like your city centres they're really real looking!

[pipishere 3]

Very nice update! Quite colourful!

[granto93 4]

love it all!!! the picture effects are amazingly realistic

[frogface 354]

Nice as usual GB! The station terrace is my favourite, looks like a typical pedestrianised area you find in any UK town

[jayo 44]

Nice CJ gingerblokey.I like the station terrace aswell.Keep up the good work

[mjig_dudy 11]

wow! this just keeps getting better and better. I love the construction picture especially, the composition is just awesome!

[bigberta 0]

Love it, looks very realistic.

[Nardo69 51]

Good one!

I like especially the entrance of the pedestrian zone at station terrace. These two corner buildings give the whole composition a special touch.

I even like the RR crossing (yes, I know, wonders happen from time to time ...).

I just would either get myself the No-Palm-Tree-mod or an alternative roadside - mod like the SFBT roadside mod. I like palm trees - here in Istanbul, and I heard that there are some at the south coast of Ireland but in generall they don't belong to a Europen CJ IMHO ...

Take care and make Backups!

Here is another look around the capital of the region. This is a more general look at both downtown, suburbs and outer commercial areas. It shows that both modern and older buildings are prevelant in the city. Many areas were badly affected by WWII bombing and the old industrial areas around the canal and the railways have now been rebuilt into modern housing and offices.

[Cleaner475 150]

I agree with Amerikaner - great train station I hope you will feature more pics of your elevated rail network - camberley view looks very nice I must say - keep it up

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Great work again, I like how everything is tightly packed in, it creates a real sense of this being a vibrant living city. I really like your rail layout, fantastic!

[sebbyb07 2]

looking great again my friend.

[Godzillaman 21]

Great CJ gingerblokey! i like how you use rail in this city!

[pipishere 3]

Another fine update. Nice work.

[jayo 44]

Very british and very unbritish,if you know what i meen.Keep on with the great updates

[penguin007 27]

Looking good and I don't agree with Jayo I think it looks british in a lot of ways. Who invented canels and railways the british. You know it looks very simaler to Swindon near where I live

Good luck

Not bad. You don't really get a big sense of the city, but they're nice little corners of it.

Glad to see my hometown Croydon having a staring role!

Nice work, I love the canals. Reminds me of the Docklands in London.

[GingerBlokey 30]

Due to moderatley popular demand I will be using this mini-update to give a more general overview of Helmskirk so you can get a sense of geography. As you can see alot of the city is very dense but the suburbs are located to the east. Due to the nature of the region the west of the city feels very "unfinnished" but this is good I feel.

[The Big Z 103]

Wow, its looking great! I love the downtown, and the way you have laid out your transit is creative and realistic! Keep it up!

[GingerBlokey 30]

These updates are coming thick and fast. Now, as promised, a look at Helmskirk by night. The city really comes alive at night with vibrant pubs and clubs in Old Town and the more serene public buildings lit up beautifuly.

Thanks for reading this. Comments much appreciated. Ill hopefully have a better update soon

[frogface 354]

Nice updates! the overview was good to get a view of where things are

[Benedict 3,119]

Great night shots - I much prefer these close-ups - much more interesting than a forest of lights where you lose the detail.

[GingerBlokey 30]

This is a new suburban area I have created to the west of Helmskirk. Brennt Lake is mainly low and medium density residential housing, high tech industry and it is also home to Helmskirk Lakes International Airport. To the east is the start of the Pennine hills and also the nature reserve of Rock Lakes.
