Your beautiful picture of the past is also a haunting and grotesque dirge of what is to come. Bazalgette closed 18th century sewers confining the filth to below ground. BTL landlords, the right wing press and the tories opened those sewers up and now watch gormlessly as the country dissapears in a soup of its own puke, shit, blood, piss and tears. With any luck we’ll freeze before we drown.
Great pic though, was this ink?
Hogarthian
Looks like the top of Haworth Main Street, but a bit fancier.
It’s the word Postal, just wrong somehow.
That’s how I imagine Ankh-Morpork looks…
I like the fairytale castle in the background but postal seems out of place
Postal what?
You mean future English Town with the state of our economy.
Yep, that’s an old English town alright (source: am old and English).
Nicely sketched but it looks nothing like modern day England. That sketch is more like 1800s
I like it overall, but “Postal” isn’t right I’m afraid
It would be a good postcard.
Good effort, the building kinda reminds me of Keswick information centre
Add death and plague with a drunk man being pulled out of a pub by the police then this will be perfect
Needs more black death/Plague
Reminds me of the Shambles in York. Nicely done but the postal sign looks out of place
Monkey Island
Beautiful
Awsome
For someone from (presumably) a different culture, you’ve done well. 🙂
Really like it, the castle just poking out above the building at the back is a nice touch.
Stage Post maybe?
post office
Tbh it is a nice piece of art
That’s a Disneyfied impression of what England looks like in a non English imagination…the time frame is wrong, either it’s a Victorian/Edwardian scene, in which case where are the horse and carriages and early motor cars. Or it’s a Tudor scene in which case why is there a Post Office and a street gas lights. The castle if it was above the town, would be of a magnitude greater than shown or it would be on a motte in the distance, crenelated towers with turrets was a mainly French chateaux thing really too. The church should be either a Norman style or a Steepled style, the steeple shown is too squat, and Norman churches don’t have cylindrical cone shaped towers…Other than that it’s not a bad drawing…just terribly confusing to an Englishman…

Otley circa. 2022
Reminds me of Yorkshire
Very artistic. Is it based on an actual location or entirely imaginative ? What century or era are you thinking.?
I like your style
Looks like 1800s London, exactly as I remember it.
Reminds me of final fantasy ix
This reminds me alot of Eddie Campbells work, particular from From Hell
To be honest, it has more of a continental feel – like Bavaria or southern France c. 1700.

Looks like Death junction in Cardiff
(not in England though)
Lovely!
Funnily enough this reminds me of the end of the road I lived in when I was at Uni in Portsmouth!
[Here’s a google maps link](https://www.google.com/maps/@50.7891968,-1.0933238,3a,75y,32.7h,97.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sU3S68BWQIkUliCuYlmOP0Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192). Very similar! Great work!
Really good!

The roofs make it look more continental to me.
Reminds me of a few places in Germany.
