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

[bluemoon32]

Any part of North Wales that has people living in it, loads of grim towns in the North.
Newport - major shithole
Merthyr - as already mentioned, hideous 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.

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?!

I may have been in one of those that you mentioned I'm not too sure. I was about 5 minute walk from the Memorial Ground where I was.

What would you all say is the worst part of Manchester now? Cheatham Hill has its rough parts when I was younger? Does it still?

 

[SuperKevinHorlock]

I would say Beswick or Longsight are the worst places in Manchester.

The worst place I've ever visited is the first page upstairs at the moment!

 

[Manchester la la la la]

Off the top of my head

Miles Platting
Clayton
Bransholme, Hull
Scotland Road area, Liverpool

Theres a council estate in Anglesey where my mothers partner's mother used to live in, cant remember the name of it, think it was in holyhead, but my god it was a depressing looking shithole

But the absolute worst has to be parts of Edinburgh. Craigmillar and Greendykes. Couldnt believe there were still people actually living in areas like that, especially Greendykes

Years ago I drove through Port Talbot, and it's just what I imagine Chernobyl to be like.

 

[barney10]

Skem its just terrible.

New Bury occasionally when i was learning to drive my instructor used to take me up there to do maneuver's round the estate. Fucking grim.

Motherwell

And around Victoria Mill in Platting.

 

[mcmanus]

A little town called COPPULL fucking horrendous place.

 

[pinkwheeltrim]

Can't believe how many mentions Bradford is getting! I think its a great place,full of good people and has a real soul.

In fact whats with you all slagging off Northern towns anyway? Yes there might not be much money flying about up here but at least there is some real heart and grit!

The most depressing towns I have visited in Britain are all soulless places down south or in the Midlands. Places like Ashford, Peterborough,Newbury,Luton etc.

Give me a Miles Platting crack house or a back street boozer in Burnley over those places any day.

The North is a truly beautiful and amazing place in all it's guises.


















Apart from Bacup, that place is just fucking wrong!

I used to go out with a bird in Thamesmead, an estate in South East London. That was scary.
Peckham - even worse.

Abroad Guayaquil in Ecuador was scary. Gunshots every night. They've cleaned it up a lot now.

Some bits of Isaan (North East Thailand, where my other half comes from) are pretty depressing. So much poverty.

[mcfcnorthstand]

Stretford/London

 

[smeeagain]

sounds like theres no hope for the whole chuffin country !!!
full to bursting with scumbags
is there any other country with as many shitholes as this one ,makes me depressed reading all this !

 

[yerwot?]

most of the places mentioned felt the back of maggies hand.Knew a couple of ex-merchant seaman,they both reckoned it was between glasgow and millwall as the most dangerous ports they came across.personally it's london every time just one big traffic jam
