As part of my work on illustrating The Road I have being around nearby locales taking pictures of worn, ruined and abandoned areas. The good thing about living in an northern industrial city that has largely being forgotten for the past 50 years is that there is a wealth of rusting and tired looking structures that could fit right into a post-apocalyptic setting.
The following pictures are from the old industrial areas surrounding the River Hull. This reference will be useful for any scenes within the book that are set in an urban locale.
