Thats a very nice Golf Cource andrew ^^ And those Burbs look really nice, though is that huge interchange really used any much? though it looks really cool, so i guess that alone is a good enough reason for its existance

Cheers

Andrew, I hope your still working on this CJ - I know Norwich looked doomed in the premiership, but dont let that stop you working on your masterpiece!

[burwellian 16]

I know your probably feeling down about being in the relegation zone, and that your bitter East Anglian rivals (uh, us!) are coming up to take your place if you don't get some results soon, but please:

Don't abandon your Journal


Yours from an Ipswich fan

Norwich Ready To Welcome World's Fastest

 

Hello everyone and may I wish you all a warm welcome back to Norwich!

 

Norwich has to the south-west, along the M4 motorway, into a new borough, called Stokyngton (pron. Stock-ying-ton). CONRIP (City Of Norwich Redevelopment Investment Project) has continued it's endeavours to make the city one of the world's sporting elite, and has worked to create a top class motor racing circuit - Stokyngton Raceway & Amusement Park.

 

First of all, the M4 enters Stokyngton from Thistlehurst. North of the motorway here is a vast and developing industrial estate, which extends a good distance into Thistlehurst also, combining to make by far the largest area of industrial land use in the city. Thistlehurst Common is a large area of wild forested and open land to the south.....

Junction 2a of the M4 allow access to Sir Stirling Moss Way, named after the legendary British Formula One champion. After public consultation CONRIP decided to arrange the motorway junction this way, with only one road to access the circuit directly from the motorway, to try to ensure local roads would not become gridlocked on racedays.....

The roadsign, courtesy of mattc005.....

Stokyngton Raceway. A relatively short circuit in Formula One terms, at just 1.9 miles, it is suitable for Formula One and Superbikes, as well as all other lesser levels of competition on four wheels and two.....

The Amusement Park, contains many different forms of excitement for all the family, sure to make everyone sick at least once. Go-karting and minigolf included.....

The car parks get very busy on racedays.....

Junction 2b of the M4 provides access into Stokyngton and to Stokyngton Retail Park, a large out-of-town shopping centre, which hosts several of the UK's and the World's biggest names. Tesco, a huge Blockbuster Video outlet, McDonald's, Petco, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Costco and it's first distribution centre in Norwich are all based here.....

Junction 2b.....

Stokyngton Station is close to the Retail Park, alonside Stokyngton's commercial centre.....

Stokyngton Town Hall and clock, with gardens and steps leading up to the Church Of St. Etheldreda.....

St. Etheldreda is close to close to a green surrounded by nice-looking homes.....

More homes and businesses.....

Suburbia close to the bank of River Hex.....

More family homes.....

Stokesbury & budget.....

Thanks, region views etc. to follow....

Wow. Norwich is back and better than ever! I really like the F1 track and it is probably the most realistic creation I have seen in SC4. Great to see you back and I hope there are many more updates to come.

[uncrazycooper13 0]

Hurrah Norwich is back! I hope you stay back Andrew George! May this be the first of many more frequent updates!

I don't believe my eyes! Norwich is back!! Great update Andrew, as usual. I can't wait to see more updates of one of my favourite cjs!

Keep it up mate!

[MrCinatit 30]

quite glad to see you are back as well, Andrew...and as usual, your update is quite a fine one...your eye for detail is spectacular, and i really love what you have done with your park.

glad to have you back.

[Nardo69 51]

Welcome back from RLS Andrew!!!

And you came back with a reakky nice update . Allthough I am not a fan of Formula I (who is M. Schumacher ?) I know the huge parking lots of them due to some concerts - and yours is absolutely adequate!!

 

Your region views are overwhelming!! You really got a metropolis there!!!!

 

[Dark Avatar 8]

Yay! Finally, an update. Welcome back andrew george! Your update is supurb as usual. The Stokyngton Raceway looks great and my goodness, Norwich is so big, dense and massive! Looking forwrd to more updates and keep up the good job!

[Gryphonite 0]

Nice looking Cj here, good to see you're continuing it. Love the race track. Go Norwich!

 

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Great update...

Eh, where'd you get that racetrack? I'd love to plop one of these in my cities.

[andrew george 0]

Hello everyone! Yes, I am back and am feeling something of a resurgence in my enthusiasm for SC4. I'd like to take the time to thank everyone for the kind messages of encouragement left here while I was away - I would never intentionally ignore them, I think a lot of you know me well enough by now to know that that's not my style. Ginger Blokey says I'm a Norfolk Master?! Thanks GB, flattery will get you everywhere, although I'm just a good ol' farmer boy.....

 

I love the F1 track, I think it's really cool and I downloaded it here:

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=Lot&Str=f1%20%20circuit

 

It's aptly named F1 circuit, and was created by JR03.

 

Thanks everyone, I have to go do another update and get reacquainted with the ST community and CJ's.

 

Thanks again.

[bobinator 0]

i don't think I've seen this before but it looks awsome!!! Those region views look great!! Good job.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Yess! Norwich is Alive! Alive!! Hes back!!!

[rp2005 165]

When  saw Norwich scrolling by on the front page I thought - 'which idiot's bumped a dead CJ?' - but no, I was wrong, Norwich is really alive - nice to have you back.

 

The raceway looks really great - there's not much more you could do without a load of custom BATs.  And the amusement park's full of nomad's excellent rides, so you can't go wrong there!

 

 

 

 

[M-SIL 2]

I never thought to see the day that I'll see a race circuit on a CJ!! Awesome CJ!!

[andrew george 0]

Thanks for the kind comments, guys!

Stokyngton Reaches Over The Hex

 

Hello everyone and can I welcome you to something unusual from me, a mini-update!

 

The recent Stokyngton update was not quite fulfilled - due to time restrictions and the desire to just produce something, I had built Stokyngton Bridge but nothing on the other side, and you were all too polite to mention it! Well, this is the second part of my update.

Here is Stokyngton Bridge, with two car ferry terminals serving the community.....

The South-West Norwich Synagogue offers a quiet place of prayer for the sizable Jewish contingency in this part of Stokyngton.....

Not far from the Synagogue is Edinburgh Square, with it's famously striking lavender colours, and it is the site of some of Norwich's most sought after property.....

The local high school, with it's unusual blue paved surround, boasts some fine sporting and educational facilities.....

Pleasant, quiet suburbia.....

The northern bank of River Hex.....

Stokyngton by helicopter, together with new population and budget.....

No region views tonight, as it's really not worth it for such a small update.

Let me know what you think, thanks for looking!
