Sergeant Wilson Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I thought Wolverhampton was bad until I ventured in to hear by Bilston. Bradford is getting better recently but still has room to improve. Counties can't be included as there's usually good and bad close together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Aye Blackburn is terrible. Seen a few Preston shouts - when I go to a Blackburn game we usually cant wait to get back to Preston after the game which tells you how much of a shitehole Blackburn is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the very few places I felt somewhat nervous walking about late in the evening. 44 minutes ago, ICTChris said: Liverpool is a great city but Toxteth was a bit run down when I was there, in the way that Beirut was a bit run down after the civil war. Love Liverpool, excellent city. Some fantastic boozers (special mention to Ship & Mitre), however as you mentioned Toxteth is rotten. We stayed in a hotel there a few years back and had some of our clothes nicked from the room. London has some nice parts, but a lot of it is minging. Especially around the South East. Burnley is a shit tip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to mention Milton Keynes. Not a "shithole" in the sense of some other places mentioned here, but really a quite boring, soulless place. It just seemed to have nothing there when I went, and that was even with a local showing me around (I was there to visit a friend).

I didn't really like Liverpool...The Beatles, we get it, now shut up. Preston is ok for a night or an extended train wait. I'm an optimist and usually find a few redeeming features. You can't say London is rubbish, it's about 100 towns stuck together. If your in a high rise scheme, you're in the wrong part, try Greenwich or Blackheath.

The only town where I've ever seen two seperate Greggs shops on opposite sides of the High Street. Not at different ends. You can stand outside one and see th eother one acrss the street. In town terms, that makes Barrow OFTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 11 hours ago, Flybhoy said: I had an aunt and uncle who moved near there in the 1970's to a nearby seaside town called Redcar, f**k me that was bleak beyond DESCRIPTION. As a kid my parents would regularly drag me down there for a week to visit them and my cousins, loved spending time with them but, my god it was depressing that place, a soulless, grey seaside town with a polluted beach and a giant petro chemical plant a few miles up the road in Middlesborough. The fact that, well known, dark ages set, racist comedian Roy Chubby Brown is the most famous son of Redcar is a fairly accurate summation of the place, full of angry drunk xenophobic little Englanders. I'll second this. An absolute dive. I spent a day and night there years ago with work, had a wander around and it appeared to have no redeeming qualities whatsover. I've also never seen so many boy racers congregated in one spot as the car park down the front in my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I've had the misfortune to stay in both Wigan and Nuneaton in the same trip. Both are spirit crushing shitholes (or were in the late 90s). I imagine little has changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I remember Sunderland being an absolute pit of a place. And Dover is a complete dump as well. If you were extending to the whole of the British isles, then Limerick wins. Used to visit relatives near there fairly often, and it was unimaginably bleak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Surprised at the lack of mentions for Burnley. Sticks out for me as an abysmal place, amongst many abysmal places visited while going to watch games of football. South Wales is a strange one. The Rhondda Valley has some breathtaking scenery, punctuated by absolutely desperate towns and villages that were utterly destroyed with the decline of coal mining. Generally always enjoyed my weekends down there but there is no escaping how bad it is in some places.
