Is there a list anywhere of mega city block names from the stories of Judge Dredd?

I met a guy in the pub and we got talking about comics and he told me he met a Dredd artist in Belfast a few years back and the artist said he might put his name in the background of a panel, I am just curious if it ever happened.

If it ended up as a bit of graffiti it might never be found, but if it was actually a block name there might be a chance of identifying it, if it exists at all.

thanks

The only one I can remember is John Caliber's City of Dredd which listed pretty much every location, but I think that stopped around 2013ish.

It could also be covered by a speech balloon.

What name are you looking for?

A totally incomplete category on a wiki may be useful (some day, probably not today).
Category: Mega-City One blocks

Well, I'm just gonna say: if this was me, I've totally forgotten about it, sorry unnamed block guy!

the guy's name is "Noel Tate", do not appear to be on the wiki list anyway.

thanks P.J., I thought the only 3 names at him I knew might be from Northern Ireland, yours, Will Simpson & John McCrey, but he said there was a lot of drink involved and it was a while ago.

thanks for all your help.

Up to 179 blocks on the wiki (none of which are Noel Tate).

Having just finished the 1983 annuals, now up to 210 named blocks (and conapts).

I think you'll find there's only one block in Mega City One...

Ah, Pete - a lovely piece.

Surely that scrofulitic old ruin has been condemned by now?

It has a preservation order on it, due to being the only block in MC-1 to house a functioning branch of Greggs.

"Synthi-pasty"? Is there any other kind?
