Top 10 most depressing places in England

7 Conversations

This is a personal, light hearted and strictly non-negotiable list. Since I haven't visited everywhere in the country there may be worse places of which I am currently unaware. Should I find one I'll keep you posted:

1 Goole - Humberside - Everytime I've been it was shut.

2 Hindley - Greater Manchester - A timewarp back to 1948.

3 Hartlepool - Co Durham - The monkey would have hung itself if the citizens hadn't got to it first.

4 Eccles - G. Manchester - To quote Victoria Wood "Nowt worth bombing bar two old tarts at t'bus station"

5 Harlow - Essex - The roundabout capital of the world.

6 Clapham High Street - G. London - A traffic choked string of shabby fast food outlets.

7 Grantham - Lincs - Sorry, Lady Thatcher.

8 Blackpool - Lancs - Behind the tacky facade is a tacky town.

9 Cleethorpes - Lincs - See Blackpool.

10 Fleetwood - Lancs - Fishy.
