Worst place you've ever visited/driven through in the UK?

The worst place i ever driven thro'
was a red light at the junction of
Rochdale Rd/Moston lane.
North Manchester forever ha ha
It's a chip muffin';
I'm pissed but nevertheless... CTID,
Goodnight Blues, sweet dreams
 
Most of the places mentioned already I've visited in a work capacity, Burnley, Middlesboro and Rochdale being the stand out candidates.
But one that no one has mentioned so far is Wrexham. There's an area on the outskirts called Queens Park and that is just the worst. It makes Huyton look like Alderley Edge.

I live in Stockport and I'm not even offended. It really is a huge pile of wank that only exists nowadays because of Manchester. God, I can't wait to leave. Good shout, Lee.

Lived in Stockport all my life.

Stockport as a 'place' isn't all that bad, it includes Bramhall, Disley, Poynton etc. It's the town centre which is just awful beyond belief. You take a walk down Merseyway and you'll want to kill yourself. I've never seen a group of people leant on barriers watching pavemen lay block paving before, until I walked through Merseyway. 10 years ago it was quite vibrant and lots going on in the dinner hour. Now, it's a ghost town. Awful.

I had the displeasure of visiting Horfield in Bristol last year. What a complete and utter dive that is. I love Bristol itself, such a beautiful city. I was in Cowdenbeath on Saturday and that's a backwards place.

Horfield is horrific mate, very scary place, I used to have the displeasure of delivering round there a few years back, safest place there is the prison.

Sounds about right that mate. I had three seperate group of blokes, all well into their 50's (either that or they'd had hard paper rounds) kicking off with me and two mates cause we looked different and spoke differently. That was all in the 3-4 hours I was there.
 
I must agree with Barrow and Dewsbury.Played a gig in dewsbury a couple of years back and we nearly got battered. The place had kids running about in it at 10pm. The most backward place i,ve been to.Landlady refused to pay us our gig fee because not many punters turned up!.Cheeky fuckers,we argued our corner thats why it nearly kicked off. All the locals in there got involved in the argument too along with the landlady so they wouldn't have to cough up our cash.
Not a pleasant position to be in with 8 grand worth of equipment behind us as we had to spend the next half an hour packing our gear in our cars!.We did get our fee at the end of it though!.
Barrow is another place that should be wiped out aswell,real inbreads in that neck of the woods.Scary place.
 
Some of the places mentioned here have made me laugh...

Morecombe? big private estates there full of retired OAP couples, people who actually retire and move up there from more affluent areas.

Radcliffe isn't exactly paradise but its far from the Shante Towns of Sao Paulo.

Maybe I'm just acclimatized to poverty when travelling that living over here feels like we all have castles, be it the druggies in the squat or the middleclass family in the detached 4bed.

Theres a reason we have a large migration number in this country.

I really can't wait for city living. A nice flat in Salford should be fine for me.

Stockport is awful. Notorious fo chavs and full of scrotes and the "underclass"; if I can call them that, it might be not be politically correct. But it really is full of fourty-year olds with stubble, horrible skin and a style of clothing that says: "I was thrown out of school because I slapped up a teacher because she refused to have sex with me".

yup
 
I agree when you travel around brazil Sao Paulo/ Rio, we have nothing like this in the UK. We have run down estates and crime yes but compared to these places we live in paradise. There is a Brazilian saying when leaving your house "WALK WITH GOD" because they dont know if they are going to return. Tats scary.

Got an away derby to look forward to in Cowdenbeath next week! Their ground is a shithole. Wouldn't say the place itself is that bad though, there's definitely worse in that area!
 
I remember years ago being in Tall Trees nightclub near Yarm , Cleveland . Got off with this girl who said she lived nearby in Middlesbrough . Turned out she lived on a housing estate called Brambles Farm .
Now that was a shit hole .
Got back to her sisters who she shared a house with and there was a full on party happening. It was like something out of The League Of Gentlemen .
The women wanted to fuck me , the men wanted to kick fuck out of me .
That was an interesting night .
