Visions of Post Apoc Britain (inspiration for Across the Dead Earth)

[Rob_bresnen]

I found this gallery of cool pictures of a Post Apocalypses Britain- not sure who the artist is, but I love them...

Buckingham Palace





The Angel of the North





There are other landmarks too in this gallery...

Cool stuff. I use that 1st London Pic as the wallpaper on my desktop.
Never bores me.

The one with the Underground sign prominent looks like it might be the grand stair way of the Natural History Museum.

These are great pics. I once wrote my own Post apocalyptic game set in Britain, these would have made good deco.

Not to be picky but ...the Thames has never been that deep in Central London (it used to be a wide shallow river with marshy areas either side - these were gradually drained filled in etc until the 19th Century when the embankments were constructed as part of the plan to combat the "Great Stink") - something seriously odd must have happened to gouge out the riverbed like that.

Three more- possibly from the National Geographic?

Maybe flooding perhaps uncontrolled as the world ended?

Great pics Rob very inspirational

You could just visit Birmingham. Doesn't even need modifying to look the part.

To quote Warhammer 40,000:

"Birmingham is also known as the Black Planet, as it receives almost no visible light from its system's sun. As a result, the planet receives few visitors, and its inhabitants have become linguistically and culturally isolated. "

Ooh now. You better watch it.   

Although I live in Brimingham I am a northerner, and not a native of brum: However, Brummie Thug is the real deal and those brummies get a bit sensitive when southern shandy drinkers poke fun at their beloved city.

Hey, I've got a big white horse watching over my little town. We fear no mortals.

And I drink rum and liqueur.
