East Becktown

From The Urban Dead Wiki

East Becktown is a suburb of Malton, located in the west of the city. Of the 2% of people who are of Jewish faith, over 3/4 of them once lived in this suburb. Most came to the city from Eastern Europe to flee from the Nazis in World War II. Before the outbreak, the community was trying to build the first synagogue in Malton, right on Dinmead Lane. Now the site has been vandalized and most of the materials were looted. Dinmead Lane is now the revive point of East Becktown.

It is currently occupied by a group known as the People's Liberation of East Becktown, who have been trying to regulate barricades, and defend the area from zombie incursions.

[edit] Mobile Phone Mast

East Becktown's mobile phone mast is located atop the Percival Building [25,35] (EH barricaded).

Although the portable generator set up by PLEB to power the mast has been repeatedly vandalised, it is always quickly replaced, so mobile phone communication is generally good in East Becktown.

[edit] Notable buildings

• Ackland Mall - can be found five blocks south-east of East Becktown in the western half of Havercroft.

• Caiger Mall - is positioned two blocks to the north of East Becktown, on the border of Chudleyton and Darvall Heights.

• Dinmead Lane - has been designated as a revivification zone for East Becktown by PLEB. Zombies standing there are being revived by various parties, and are not being attacked by PLEB members (unless an individual is recognized as a threat).

• The Doggrell Hotel - ruined landmark hotel and now home to BARBRAZ. Operates an open door policy (see wiki page).

• Gomm Auto Repair and the Herbert Museum - are claimed to be accessible directly from the street, unlike most non-resource buildings in this area.

• Mitchell Drive Fire Station - has long been designated the Malton Fire Department's Headquarters for East Becktown. Firefighters please report for duty as soon as possible.

[edit] Barricades

Click to enlarge. This map shows the current barricade plan. The bright yellow buildings are being barricaded to Extremely Heavily, whilst the other buildings are designated entrances to be barricaded to Very Strongly. Black denotes empty space - a road, monument, park, etc.

The actual status of barricades in East Becktown may differ temporarily from the levels shown on the PLEB barricade map due to uncontrollable factors. The map shows which buildings are free running entrances and which are likely to be barricaded to Extremely Heavily.

Those wishing to make a permanent base in East Becktown are recommended to learn free running as soon as possible.

Most of the suburb is in ruins; however, an organized cadre of humans appears to be holding strong in and around the Kening Building NT in the northmost edge of the suburb. --Chronolith 17:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The NTs are caded and lit, zed presence is minimal, and the suburb is recovering quickly. A few zombies remain, but those awaiting revive outumber them. -Aidan Swart 00:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course with everything to the south red and the number of survivors dropping rapidly, stating there are active NT's in the zone is magnet for the zombie hordes. Thanks for ensuring the zombies will focus on this zone. --Wke235 10:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
