Leicester (Inspitational Photos)

[Ellie]

I took these when I went for my exam a few weeks ago. I didn't go very far around Leicester, but even so, the amount of architecture in that short walk was astounding for such a small city.

The main features are the grand victorian architecture mixed with medieval town walls and such (of which only two gates seem to remain, mind).

Leicester is so very pretty :O. I'm jealous; you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find such rich architecture or historical beauty, in any decent amount, here in the U.S.

But I have to ask ... Why post this in GDD? Are there a lot of people severely interested in developing games set in post-Victorian English villages, that need a bunch of images for developing the ... setting?

Eh, well I was taking them anyway and figured somebody might find them useful. Seemed a waste of photos otherwise. Inspiration more graphics wise, I guess.
