Well if you remember this CJ from like 8 months ago, congratulations! I had planned on doing some updates throughout the winter...and spring...and summer but I stepped away from SC4 for a short break that turned into about an 8 month hiatus haha. I'm not sure how active my CJ will be in the upcoming months since college begins soon, but before it starts I will try to have at least 2 updates for you all to see.

*I intended on having a large amount of photos for this update, but good ol SC4 kept crashing to desktop (woohoo!). So this update will be short (boo)

Okay enough of me talking, lets begin.

Last update we ended in the old port of Port Vale. Continuing on the highway inland we drive into the suburb of Amesbury.

The Amesbury suburban area includes the far edge of Duke's Point, as seen by the grundge above. West side of Amesbury contains many row houses from the industrial days of old.

Down the highway we enter the small but entertaining Old Station Lane, known for its old buildings and plazas. Lots of lil cafe's and restaurants are located here.

Farther out from the Highway and the station lies the suburban areas.

Most of the populace of Amesbury lives here on the hill or close to it.

Close up you can see the Court House and the local pitch. Many of the timberframe buildings were the first businesses in the town. When Upper Amesbury (the occupied area on the hill) and Old Station Lane merged to form the town of Amesbury, each community fielded their top XI and played each other on the pitch. Upper Amesbury won and named the new town Amesbury as a result. On Founder's Day each year a two teams play each other, one from the Lane and one from Upper Amesbury.
