'Fraid not. You'll find that almost all towns and villages in the southeast have hardly changed since the 1940s, the 1840s, the 1740s, in fact most predate even this when you examine the architecture and buildings in these rural areas.
Since the war some have suffered the effects of the town planning and sprawl in an attempt to house a growing population, whereby more modern houses, usually without much sympathetic consideration, have been tacked on to the edge of their old medieval counterparts.
Unfortunately this is more akin to what you see of the towns and villages in this game.
