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

The Queens Park estate, Wrexham. Makes wythenshawe look like paradise. No offence to our wythenshawe lot.<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 10, 2010 4:28 am --<br /><br />

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.

Ah you've been there too! Interesting place eh? Hadn't seen ur post.
 
Met a girl a few years back on a course from work who invited me down to her place for a weekend so 2 weeks later of I went to.....West Bromwich. We went out to the local, it kicked off within 5 mins of us getting in there, moved onto another pub, kicked off within half an hour! Moved onto the town centre and a club and 2 lads stabbed in there! Fook me that place was wild and seriously scary. There was an atmosphere in every place we went in, I could feel it in the air, proper loonies!

best thing they could do is build a big wall right across that little peninsular its on and stop the fuckers escaping.

They should build the wall to keep you fuckers out, nothing wrong with Barrow, good beaches 10 mins from lake district good history and some good pubs, you should try Hamilton in scotland.

I was delivering two huge machines to the Hospital, on the top of the hill in the middle of that housing estate, if thats where your talking about?? Cant remember the name of the estate. And not wanting to generalize but my sat nav took me on a bit of an un timely de-tour around the town, and non of it looked nice, dont get me wrong I've seen rougher areas but I was driving through a lovely valley with lakes and views everywhere then, suudenly this shit hole appears, just a very strange leed up to it. Think it must be one of those places that isn't used to outsiders, in particular an Englishman.

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.
Click to expand...

Gotta say that living in Bristol I dont think you were in Horfield. Horfield itself is nice, but borders onto a couple of shitholes, well Southmead/Filton to be precise, but Horfield is also on the edge of St Andrews, Bishopston and Ashley Down which are some of the better areas in Bristol....

Where abouts where you?!
 
north belfast is as grim as it gets. its just a big grey depressing shit hole.

then theres port glasgow, sweet jesus.
 
Most of the UK's cities although not great aren't that bad compared to some abroad like parts of Oakland and L.A in California and most of Mexico's cities.

However three exceptions are:

1. Stoke. It isn't regularly voted England's worst city for nothing. A turd of a city. Unfortunately some of my mates live there.

2. Coventry. Besides the cathedral area its a concrete hell hole.

3. Dover. Englands arsehole and directly contributes to why we aren't invaded, anyone crossing the channel who gazes on this city will turn straight back!
 
1) Port Talbot (think of Middlesbrough but twice as bad)
2) Middlesbrough
3) Workington
4) Parts of Liverpool (remember being behind a police car at a set of traffic lights and kids who can't have been older than 5 or 6 stood there gobbing at the coppers car. They didn't even look old enough to be out on their own - the kids, not the coppers).
5) Bradford
6) Parts of London, Millwall area, rough end of Islington
