"Blyth" & "St. George" are two of the oldest suburbs near "Abbey-Upon-Tyne" and aslo share a similar history. Blyth was founded in 1643 as a small fishing community as well as "St. George". Once the coal industry was moving in the city, they were looking for easy ways to distribute the coal. Railways were soon build but could only transport a limited amount of coal. A new harbour was needed but there were only a few spots in this mountanious area where it could be build. The choice fell on Blyth and from 1917 to 1919 the "Blythton Harbour" was build. Today it is still the main hub for coal shippment in the country. But also other goods are beeing send from here to all their different destinations, eg. cars from the BMW factory located in "Abbey-Upon-Tyne".

"St. George" & "Blyth"sort of merged in the 19th century and today it is impossible to distinguish between the two towns.

"St. George" is also home to the "Royal Golf Club of St. George", a wolrd famous and very hard to play golf course. It is one of the oldest in the world founded in 1756.

In 1960's a new project was started to attract more people into these villages. The "Blythton Terraces" soon became one of the wealthiest areas in "Abbey-Upon-Tyne".

This is just a small overview of "Blyth & St. George". "Blyth" is the area towards the harbour and "St. George" is the one on the right...sort of...

"St. George" with the old fishing harbour.

"Blythton Harbour". A harbour - not much to say.

A view of the "Blythton Terraces". I was so happy when I found a STR station that I needed to put it in use straight away. I am still not sure if the setting with the walls fits in the city or if it looks too...I dunno...Japanese?

This is the "Royal Golf Club of St. George". Wouldn't you enjoy playing a little golf whilst looking at the mountains and enjoying the fresh sea air?

I redid the downtown area to fit more my ideas and there you go. Used more mid-rise buildings rather than skyscrapers and they also fir in better with the city I think. But it's still in development!
