10 Most Hated Towns in England
What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

Places to see in ( Billericay - UK )
Billericay is a town and civil parish in the Borough of Basildon, Essex, England. Billericay lies within the London Basin and constitutes a commuter town 28 miles east of central London. The town has three secondary schools and a variety of open spaces.
Billericay is within the London Basin and lies on a mixture of London clay, Claygate Beds and Bagshot Beds. Near the High Street, there is a change in soil type from sandy to clay, which gives rise to local underground springs. Open spaces include Norsey Wood, Mill Meadows Nature Reserve, Queen's Park Country Park, Sun Corner, Lake Meadows, Hanningfield Reservoir and South Green. Billericay contains Billericay School, Mayflower High School and St John's School.
Mill Meadows is a 90 local Nature Reserve near the centre of Billericay one of the finest ancient meadow systems in Essex. Centuries of grazing have created the ideal conditions for a wonderful diversity of wild flowers, fungi, insects and invertebrates, many of which are very rare.
Billericay is a part of the London commuter belt. It is served by Billericay railway station on the Abellio Greater Anglia route from Liverpool Street station, in the City of London, to Southend. The station connects to local bus routes. Billericay is close to two primary routes: the A12 to the north and the A127 in the south. The A176 provides a road link to Basildon to the south of Billericay, as well as to the A127. The only secondary road in the town, the B1007, passes from just south of the town centre as Laindon Road, meets the A129 at Sun Corner and then continues northwards as Billericay's High Street and then Stock Road. It continues north to the county town of Chelmsford. Along its route is the village of Stock and an interchange to the A12. The town is a destination on the A129, linking it to the neighbouring towns of Brentwood and Wickford.
Billericay is served by a community radio station, Phoenix FM, which is based in Brentwood. The town was immortalised in the Ian Dury and the Blockheads song Billericay Dickie. Billericay is mentioned in George Orwell's novel Down and Out in Paris and London. Billericay is the setting of the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey as the home of Gavin Shipman (Mathew Horne) and his parents; however, the actual filming took place in Wales. The Cater Museum is a privately owned local history museum housed in an 18th & 19th century building in the High Street.

Billericay Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around 25 miles east, and slightly north, of central London, is the town of Billericay (pronounced 'bill-uh-RICK-ey').
The first recorded reference to Billericay dates back to 1291 where it was written as 'Byllyrica'. This is believed to be from a medieval Latin word, bellerīca, meaning 'dyehouse or tanhouse'.
It is believed that Billericay was a resting stop for pilgrims travelling to Canterbury during the 13th and 14th centuries. Presumably they would have spent the night in Billericay before crossing the River Thames at Tilbury. The large number of inns in the town hints at this being the case.
In 1381 the Battle of Billericay took place. This occurred during the Peasants' Revolt of that same year. The boy king Richard II's soldiers defeated the Essex rebels near a wood northeast of Billericay, thought to have been Norsey Wood.
It is claimed that the Pilgrim Fathers met up on Billericay High Street prior to their voyage across the Atlantic on the Mayflower in 1620. One of the passengers was Christopher Martin, a merchant and property owner from Billericay, who became the official Ship's Governor and purchasing agent, procuring ships supplies for the voyage. Three other passengers were also from Billericay. All four died shortly after their arrival at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In spite of this, other Billericay residents went on to set sail for the New World. The town of Billerica, Massachusetts was established in 1655 and was named after the settlers' place of birth, here in Essex.
In 1889 the railway arrived in Billericay courtesy of the Great Eastern Railway. Today it provides direct access to Southend-on-Sea to the east and London Liverpool Street to the west, which is accessible in just over half an hour, making Billericay a practical commuter town for those working in the capital.
Famous people from Billericay include singer Alison Moyet, swimmer Mark Foster and model David Gandy. The town is referenced in the 1977 song by Ian Dury - Billericay Dickie. The sitcom Gavin & Stacey is set in both Billericay and Barry in Wales, although the Billericay scenes were filmed in Wales.

Places to see in ( Wickford - UK )
Wickford is a town in the south of the English county of Essex, with a population of more than 33,000. Located approximately 30 miles (50 km) east of London, it falls within the Borough of Basildon along with the original town of Basildon, Billericay, Laindon and Pitsea. However, parts of Wickford fall under neighbouring districts such as Chelmsford and Rochford.
Wickford has become a commuter town, serving the City of London through its direct connection to Liverpool Street station through the Southend Victoria line, on which a train to London takes approximately 40 minutes. The town can also be easily reached via the road network by the A127 between London and Southend-on-Sea or by the A130 from Chelmsford.
Wickford is a fairly small town with a main high street including a range of shops. A swimming pool, a library, an open-air market and a community centre are also within the vicinity of the town centre.
Including this, Wickford also incorporates a small estate called Shotgate, home to many residents. Shotgate features a row of village shops and a children's play area and park.
Wickford has a history going back over two thousand years. There is evidence that the area itself was inhabited in prehistoric times probably by a tribe of Britons called Trinovantes. There was a Roman military marching camp on the Beauchamps Farm site, which was succeeded by a Roman villa. This is now the site of Beauchamps High School. This area on higher ground was the historic core of Wickford, the site of the manor house and the parish church of St Catherine's. Over time the commercial centre of Wickford has migrated westwards, towards the modern High Street on the other side of the River Crouch.
For the most part, Wickford is flat and 10 metres (33 ft) above sea level. The highest point, on the outskirts of the town, is 74 metres (243 ft) above sea level. The River Crouch flows through the town, from the west to the east. The River Wick flows into the River Crouch from the south.
The Wick Country Park comprises 50 acres (20 ha) of former agricultural land, with over 2 km of easy access trails around the site. The trails leads visitors past old hedgerows, the 5-acre (2.0 ha) lake, ponds, World War II pillboxes and recent woodland plantings, with bridges and boardwalks that allow the trails to continue over the North Benfleet brook.

We see in this movie:- The Mayflower Green, The Recreation Rooms, The Cater Museum, Ye Olde Chantry Cafe, St Mary's Church, G. Self Draper, Moore's Shoe repairs, North Thames Gas, Red Lion Pub.
The origin of the name Billericay is unclear. It was first recorded as Byllyrica in 1291. The urban settlement, which was within the manor and parish of Great Burstead, was one of many founded in the late 13th century in an already densely populated rural landscape.
There were numerous inns in Billericay during the 13th and 14th centuries, including one called the Red Lion. Canterbury pilgrims would stay overnight in the town before journeying on to Tilbury where they would cross the Thames. In the 14th century Billericay acquired a Chantry Chapel.

Basildon is the largest town in the borough of Basildon in the county of Essex, England. Basildon lies 32 miles east of Central London, 11 miles south of the city of Chelmsford and 10 miles west of Southend-on-Sea.
Nearby smaller towns include Billericay to the north, Wickford northeast and South Benfleet to the east. It was created as a new town after World War II in 1948 to accommodate the London population overspill, from the conglomeration of four small villages, namely Pitsea, Laindon, Basildon and Vange. The new town which took the name Basildon was the most central of the four.
The local government district of Basildon, which was formed in 1974 and received borough status in 2010, encapsulates a larger area than the town itself; the two neighbouring towns of Billericay and Wickford, as well as rural villages and smaller settlements set among the surrounding countryside, fall within its borders. Basildon Town is one of the most densely populated areas in the county.
Some of Basildon's residents work in Central London due to the town being well connected in the county to the City of London and the Docklands financial and corporate headquarters districts, with a 36–58 minute journey from the three Basildon stations to London Fenchurch Street. Basildon also has access to the City via road, on the A127, and A13.
The town has three stations on the London, Tilbury & Southend Line: Pitsea, Basildon and Laindon. All are served by c2c trains running between Fenchurch Street and Southend/Shoeburyness; trains serving Basildon and Laindon stations run via Upminster. Basildon has a heavily developed industrial base. During the construction of the New Town, government grants were given to companies to set up their businesses in Basildon.

WORLD'S LONGEST PIER | MIS-ADVENTURE at SOUTHEND-ON-SEA | My 30 year wait becomes a little longer.
After watching the British TV programme 'Minder' in the 1990s, the world's longest pleasure pier has been on my bucket list. I travel from London Liverpool Street to Southend-on-sea ready to cross the pier off my bucket list, but things didn't go according to plan. I did contact Southend Pier for an explanation for the wrong (last) daily closure date being advertised, but sadly I didn't receive the courtesy of a reply.

Great Dunmow Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around 20 miles west of Colchester, is the town of Great Dunmow.
Geographically, Great Dunmow is situated adjacent to Stane Street - a Roman road linking Colchester to Braughing in Hertfordshire. It is believed that a small Roman settlement existed here, though the earliest reference to the town of today dates back to 951 AD where it was recorded as 'Dunemowe'.
In 1253, during the reign of Henry III, a market charter was granted to Great Dunmow. During the medieval era it thrived as a commercial centre.
To this day, the town is host to an ancient tradition known as the Dunmow Flitch Trials. This is claimed to date back to 1104 when the Lord of the Manor and his wife dressed themselves as humble folk and begged blessing of the Prior a year and a day after marriage. Impressed by their fidelity, the Prior bestowed upon them a flitch of bacon (n.b. 'flitch' refers to half of a pig that has been cut in half lengthways). The Lord of the Manor then revealed his true identity and gave his land to the Priory on the condition a flitch should be awarded to any couple who could claim they were equally devoted to one another. Thus, they would convince a jury of six local bachelors and six local maidens that, for a year and a day, they have never wished themselves unwed. This practice is referenced in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales - specifically the Wife of Bath's Tale. The Flitch Trials are held every four years, with successful couples paraded through the High Street, receiving a flitch of bacon.
In 1742 Lionel Lukin was born in Great Dunmow. In 1784 he invented the 'unimmergible boat', a forerunner of the lifeboat. His first experiments with model boats were carried out on Doctor's Pond, seen shortly after the 12-minute mark.
In 1869 a railway station opened in Great Dunmow. It formed part of the Bishop's Stortford-Braintree branch line - a line that closed to passengers in 1952. Today, public transport to Great Dunmow consists of direct bus services from nearby settlements including Chelmsford, Braintree, Saffron Walden and Bishop's Stortford. Furthermore, there are regular bus services to Stansted Airport which is situated just five miles to the west.

Tollesbury, Essex, UK
SEE MY TRAVEL WEBPAGES:
Tollesbury is located very close to the coast at the mouth of the River Blackwater in Essex. We see in this film the large expanses of marsh which floods more or less twice a month so it is not the place to leave your vehicle unattended.
There was a strong wind the day I visited, which I assume is quite common. The result is that at times it is a little difficult to hear what I have to say about the power plant in the distance and my opinion of those that protest against wind farms.
We can also see the parish church of Tollesbury which was built just after the Norman Conquest, possibly using bricks from the Roman fort which was nearby. If so, this would mean that the materials are almost 2,000 years old. Construction materials include rubble, flint and conglomerate walling with freestone quoins. Parts are also Tudor such as the doorway. and the tower parapet walls and pinnacles are from the 17th century. Buttresses are made from flint and brick which is common for East Anglia.
As can be seen in the film, I managed to park in two locations although I would not want to stop the night in either - in the first case because of the danger of flooding and in the second because of the noise.

Rochford Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around 40 miles east of central London, is the town of Rochford.
The name 'Rochford' is believed to derive from 'ræcc ford', meaning 'shallow river crossing of the hunting dogs'. It should be noted that the naming of the River Roach that runs through the town is a back formation, i.e. it was named after Rochford, and not the other way around. The river was originally called the Walfleet.
In the 13th century a market charter was granted to Rochford by Henry III. The market was set up at the junctions of the roads now known as North Street, East Street, South Street and West Street. A market hall opened here in 1707. It consisted of a covered market place, a prison, a shelter for livestock, a wool store and barbershop. In 1861 the market hall was demolished after being deemed structurally dangerous.
The manor house known as Rochford Hall was built in the 13th century just to the southwest of the town centre. During the reign of Henry VIII it was owned by Thomas Boleyn and was the marital home of his daughter Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne Boleyn. Today the hall is owned by Rochford Hundred Golf Club, where it acts as the clubhouse, which is Grade I listed.
In 1820 a town pump was installed in Rochford Market Square. With the coming of domesticated water supply, the pump became redundant, and in 1902 a fountain was put in its place (featured in the walk).
In 1889 the railway arrived in Rochford courtesy of Great Eastern Railway. Today it provides direct links both to London via Shenfield, and to Southend-on-Sea. Although it should be noted that Southend is only three miles away. Closer still is the misleadingly titled London Southend Airport, which is just one mile south of Rochford.
Famous people from Rochford include musician Jamie Cullum (although raised in Wiltshire) and Countdown co-presenter Rachel Riley.
