Poorest Cities in the UK – Nottingham
Why is Nottingham so poor? Oh, my Nottingham! So we wish to exclaim. Alas! Salvos being fired from both sides of the divide hasn’t given us a cause for exultation in Nottingham. Can you count the number of times Nottingham has been named the poorest city in the UK within 7 years? There is definitely some requiring attention in and about this city. Oh you who dislike Nottingham, please know that you haven’t found support in this video. And you enthusiastic admirers of this city, we’re not out here now to increase your fan base. As usual, we would look at the available facts regardless of fervent rebuffs of figures by the city officials, and serve you nothing but the truth.
Figures in Public Domain
Let's peep into what available data reveals about Nottingham's situation. We start with figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Nottingham’s gross disposable household income (GDHI) is the lowest in the UK. According to the last available figures, the average yearly after-tax earnings in the city is 12,445 pounds. With that amount, residents of Nottingham resident's earnings are over 7,000 pounds less than the national average. Those who consider this alone will be justified in their assertion that Nottingham is one of the poorest cities.
The employment rate also doesn’t bode well for the city. According to the last available figures, only 57 percent of all Nottingham’s 16 to 64-year-olds are at work. This is the lowest employment rate of all major cities in the United Kingdom. This is one of the reasons the city is the poorest of 179 areas across the country. But when you look at the overall scores, Nottingham isn’t just at the bottom, it’s so far behind the rest.
As expected, this breeds crime, the rate of which has increased across the region. We all know that there’s a close link between deprivation and poverty and crime. While explaining his decision to establish the Nottingham School of Boxing in the city, Marcellus Baz, of Sneinton, a repentant gang member said that he saw there were many areas of deprivation in the city and he wanted to get the youth there to work.
Council’s Rejection
This appears to be a kind of indictment of the city council. We, therefore, understand it keeps rejecting the ranking giving a lot of reasons. Well, this is not an isolated response. This has always been the position of Nottingham’s council. One of the reasons given by the council is that it has many affluent suburbs that aren’t captured in the figures as part of the city's official boundaries. For that reason, the results, they said, have been skewed by geography. The council further states that based on its own calculation, the figure that would truly represent the city’s situation is 16,000 pounds per person once affluent suburbs like West Bridgford and Beeston have been included.
The council believes that Nottingham would move up to the 56th position of the UK districts if the places where people have more disposable income are included in the city figures. It claims that more than half of the people employed in Nottingham City live in surrounding districts.
Also, the city council always blamed the unusually high student in the city for the low ranking. As usual, the council says the city’s apparent poor economic performance is a result of 46,000 students who are less likely to be in full-time or well-paid forms of employment. According to the council, the figures of these people have diluted those of the individuals in well-paid and highly-skilled jobs who live in more prosperous adjoining boroughs.

National Rail - Think Safe, Stay Safe
Passenger and freight trains passing through stations can generate strong slipstreams. The CCTV footage shows an incident that happened on a station platform with a pushchair that didn’t have breaks fully on. Luckily no one was hurt this time.
We encourage everyone to think safe and stay safe.
Here are few tips to help you make your journey safer:
• Keep well back from the platform edge
• Hold tight onto wheelchairs and apply breaks fully
• When travelling with pushchairs strap in, hold tight and apply breaks fully.
• Hold tight onto portable items such as luggage and other belongings

31/Mar/2022. Walk: Sutton Parkway - Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
Having not ticked off a new station for a while I thought I’d change that and have a trip out. I was aware of a health spa in Mansfield so I combined a visit there at the same time.
The journey there was not exactly straightforward, but I managed to do what I’d planned to.
Poorest Towns in England - South Kirkby
Why is South Kirkby so poor? South Kirkby appeared in one of our recent videos about the poorest towns in the UK. It’s in the 10th position on that list. But we have one challenge that we want to address now. We struggled to decide which of the facts about South Kirkby to keep out and which ones to add to the discussion. Interestingly, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to be analyzing the poor towns in England one after the other. Thus, we believe some of those facts left out in that video can be included in this one dedicated to South Kirby as one of the poorest towns in England. We don’t intend to make this video a run-down but an attention grabber.
South Kirkby in Perspective
South Kirkby is a town in the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire This town is governed locally by the administration of South Kirkby and Moorthorpe Town Council. South Kirby forms half of its civil parish. It’s often considered alongside Elmsall when ranked regarding factors indicating or contributing to poverty. Note, therefore, that most of what will be said about South Kirkby applies also to Elmsall.
The towns whose motto is “Friendship, Unity & Progress” appears to have forgotten or to be giving less attention to the third word, ‘progress’ in its motto. And if at all it’s making progress, it’s only toward poverty. You’re likely going to see rejections and denials of the facts we’re about to unfold about this town. We expect that the town council and individual stakeholders there may be inclined to defend their town and action in governing the town; we understand.
Why We Focus on Kirkby
Sincerely, we came across Kirkby when we realized that it’s more prominent than its size on the crime data record for the UK. We were tempted to add it to the list of the most dangerous or crime-ridden towns. But that’s a discussion for another day. Yet, we love to tell you what has been discovered by various bodies researching crime rates in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe.
The average crime rate for 2021 in the town was 119 crimes per 1,000 people. When this is placed side-by-side with West Yorkshire’s overall crime rate, it fares so poorly, even though the overage of that county is bad at 113 crimes per 1000 residents. Yet, the rate in Kirkby and Moorthorpe is 5 percent higher. The same source indicates that for the whole of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, South Kirkby and Moorthorpe is the 51st most dangerous small town. And when placed in the context of all the cities, towns, and villages, it is the 372nd most dangerous.
Take the month of September 2021, for instance, for shoplifting. South Kirkby and Moorthorpe had the highest rate among small towns in West Yorkshire, with 32 crimes reported. And the rate was 2.8 shopliftings per 1,000 inhabitants. Another rampant crime was bicycle theft in this town, as little as it is. The rate of this was more conspicuous in August 2021 when it was named the most dangerous small town in West Yorkshire for bicycle theft. It recorded 2 incidents giving a rate of 0.17 thefts per 1,000 residents.
But more worrisome is possession of arms in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe. In November 2021, it received 3 reports of possession of weapons. This makes it the most dangerous small town that possesses weapons in West Yorkshire that month.
Still on crime; the most common crimes, however, in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe up till now are violence and sexual offenses. The small town reported 585 offenses in 2021. Given that rate, 50 of such offenses were committed in 1,000 residents.

Places to see in ( Hucknall - UK )
Places to see in ( Hucknall - UK )
Hucknall, formerly known as Hucknall Torkard, is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, in the district of Ashfield. The town was historically a centre for framework knitting and then for mining, but is now a focus for other industries as well as providing housing for workers in Nottingham.
The town is notable as the site where Rolls-Royce made the first demonstration of a vertical take-off plane. It is also the final resting place of Lord Byron and his estranged daughter, the mathematician and pioneer computer programmer Ada Lovelace.
Hucknall is 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Nottingham on the west bank of the Leen Valley, on land which rises from the Trent Valley in the south to the hills of the county north of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The Whyburn or 'Town Brook' flows through the town centre, and Farleys Brook marks its southern boundary.
The town’s highest point is Long Hill, (although Beauvale estate has a higher elevation and is situated at the base of Leivers Hill, commonly mistaken for Misk Hill) at 460 ft (140 m) above sea-level, with views over the city and Trent Valley, which descends to between 22 and 24 metres AOD, flowing just beyond most of the city centre.
The town is surrounded by farmland or parkland. To the north-west lie Misk Hills and Annesley. To the north-east town are the villages of Linby and Papplewick beyond these two is Newstead Abbey and its grounds, once the residence of Lord Byron. To the west lies Eastwood, birthplace of D. H. Lawrence, and the inspiration for many of his novels. To the east of the town is Bestwood Country Park.
The contiguous settlements of Butler's Hill and Westville often appear as distinct entities on maps, but are generally regarded as part of Hucknall, and are part of its historic and present-day Church of England parish, although the town itself has no civil parish council, however the identity is reinforced by being part of the post town and by being shared wards of Hucknall.
Hucknall was once a thriving market town. Its focal point is the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, next to the town’s market square. The church was built by the Anglo-Saxons and completed after the Norman Conquest, though much of it has been restored during the Victorian era. The medieval church consisted only of a chancel, nave, north aisle and tower but it was considerably enlarged in the Victorian period. In 1872 the south aisle was added and in 1887 the unusually long transepts, while the rest of the building apart from the tower was thoroughly restored.
The town is the northern terminus for the Nottingham Express Transit tram system as well as sharing a station on the Robin Hood Line. There is also a stop at Butler's Hill/Broomhill. The town used to be on the A611 but this has now bypassed the town to the west with a single-carriageway road with roundabouts, with access to junction 27 of the M1, some 3 miles away. The tram line was built from 2002–2004 and currently runs from Hucknall to the Station Street terminus next to Nottingham railway station.

The Beaulieu Palace House is a 13th-century house located in Beaulieu, Hampshire.
Originally part of Beaulieu Abbey, the estate was bought by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton in 1538, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries and is still owned and occupied by the earl's descendants, the Barons Montagu of Beaulieu.
Beaulieu Palace House was originally built in the 13th century as the gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey.
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the estate was purchased by Sir Thomas Wriothesley, later 1st Earl of Southampton, in 1538.
The house passed through marriage into the Montagu family and is still owned by the 1st earl's descendant, Ralph Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 4th Baron Montagu of Beaulieu.
The house was extended in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century, and is today a fine example of a Gothic country house.
The house overlooks Beaulieu River and is surrounded by lawns and walkways.
The inside of the house has been kept in a Victorian style.
Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public.
It is a member of the Treasure Houses of England consortium.
Beaulieu, according to the official website, is one of the most haunted places in Britain, with reported sightings going back over a hundred years, and possibly as far as the mid-16th century.
Numerous paranormal investigators have conducted research at the abbey, including Arthur Conan Doyle, who it is claimed made contact with a ghost during a séance at Palace House.
A lady in blue or grey, reportedly sighted walking through walls and making a lot of noise in the private apartments, is believed to be the ghost of the Countess of Beaulieu, Lady Isabella, who died in 1786.
The smell of incense, which allegedly signals tragedy for the people of the abbey or the village, was also reported by Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu among others in a room of the Palace House used as a chapel in the Middle Ages.

Disused Railway Station Walkaround - Clowne & Barlborough, Derbyshire
Disused Railway Station Walkaround - Clowne & Barlborough, Derbyshire
This is a walkaround of the site of the former Midland station in Clowne.
The Clowne Branch of the Midland Railway opened in 1888 and saw trains stop between Mansfield and Chesterfield. The Clowne Branch itself runs from Cresswell to Staveley/Barrow Hill.
The station opened in 1888, called Clown. With no 'e'.
In 1938, the London Midland and Scottish railway renamed the station to Clown & Barlborough. The e was not added to Clown until 1951.
Sadly passenger services were on the decline in the town and ceased a few years later in 1954.
A few special trains called after this point, but only freight traffic was seen after this.
Freight traffic stopped in 1992 and the lines are now removed.
Incidentally, right next door can be found Clowne's other station on the neighbouring Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast Railway (LD&ECR) - known at it's closure as Clowne South. This is also now closed.
These days the Clowne branch through Clowne is well used as a recreational trail - the Clowne Greenway.

However due to Covid restrictions, I found a new interest in researching and exploring old abandoned places - railway lines, canal, woodland, parks to name a few.
So the videos you'll find will be mainly be of those things. Of course, where possible I'll be running to my destination.

A Man attempted to walk 23 miles back to Newark from King's Mill Hospital Sutton-in-Ashfield
A MAN with heart problems attempted to walk 21 miles back to Newark from Sutton-in-Ashfield on a wintry night after a hospital discharged him without checking he had the means to get home.
MR CHRISTOPHER RAGSDALE
Christopher Ragsdale, 60, of Grange Road, Newark, got as far as Oxton, where he was found lost and freezing cold at around 10.45pm by relatives out searching for him.
Mr Ragsdale had been discharged from King's Mill Hospital. He had no money, no transport, and his mobile phone was out of charge. He was wearing just a thin coat over a T-shirt.
He told the Advertiser: I just wish I hadn't started but I wanted to go home.
Mr Ragsdale, a cleaner at the Magnus School, Newark, was admitted to hospital on January 9 with severe chest pains.
He was discharged at around 8pm on January 11, without the hospital checking if he had tran- sport.
Mr Ragsdale, who could yet need an operation, said: My phone was flat so I decided to try and follow the bus route home.
At one point I saw a sign that said 13 miles to Newark.
I thought that wasn't that far, but the more I kept going the further and further away I seemed to get.
I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere because I was going all over the place.
I saw a sign that said three miles to Southwell at one point.
It seemed like I was walking for hours. It kept getting colder and at one stage I was thinking I should have a rest or a little sleep but I decided I should keep going.
I was worried that my chest pains would come back. When they found me I thought 'thank God someone has found me at last.'
Mr Ragsdale said with hindsight it was the wrong decision to walk, but he thought the
hospital should have checked how he was going to get home.
His brother, Tony Ragsdale, 74, of Lincoln Street, Newark, was told Christopher had been discharged after ringing King's Mill because he was concerned he could not contact him.
He and his son set out to find him, driving through Caunton to the hospital, then to Mansfield bus station before looping back round by an alternative route and eventually seeing Christopher in Oxton.
He said: He was lost and it was freezing cold. He was very, very cold and tired because of all that walking. It was a job to find him.
We were very relieved. He could have had another angina attack and collapsed at the side of the road. He could have been in a ditch somewhere.
He said he felt the hospital had breached its duty of care.
All they were interested in was discharging him, he said.
I don't think it's on to discharge someone without making sure there is transport for them.
Julie Dixon, head of nursing for emergency care and medicine, said: If patients are well enough they are discharged home directly from King's Mill Hospital.
It is our usual policy to ask patients how they are getting home after being discharged.
If they are eligible for ambulance or other patient transport this will be booked for them, alternatively we inform them of the free shuttle bus service to Newark, or they have 24-hour access to a phone to make their own arrangements.
High quality care remains our top priority and we always take patients' concerns very seriously.
Neither Mr Ragsdale nor his family have contacted us with any queries or concerns but should they wish to do so they should contact us directly through our Patient Advice and Liaison Service.
