The tennis courts and all-weather pitch are a prop with 'Ardnox Comprehensive School' by rp2005 - https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=11539

Nice work here Callbat - those gascooker BATs are based on London buildings, so they are perfect for recreating bits on London.  It will be interesting to see what happens when this CJ moves out of the capital.

I like the approach to this recreation. The pictures you produce are pretty good.

By the way since you asked for critique and I have Google Earth, I can tell you that the tower blocks should have parking in between them, and that Larch Close should only be connected to Ravenstone street by a pedestrian alleyway. Really these are minor details.

This is a great start to a promising cj! I agree with the call for seaside resorts! I reckon the brilliant variety of architecture in Brighton would come out very nice and all the interesting aspects like the Brighton (Palace) Pier, The old West Pier wreckage, The horific brutalist Brighton Centre etc. I could go on a lot but I won't haha.

This is a bloody good start, but in the title you made the mistake of putting 'green' and 'pleasant' into the same sentence as 'England'. They don't go together that well I'm afraid =(.

This is fantastic! Great re-creation; though I've only been to London once and never anywhere else in England. I like the way this looks though, nice work!

    Great job, Callbat! I love to see real life recreations! It reminds me of the Edmonton CJ that was more active than now. It was amazing, and this one is starting off great, too!
