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.

Shirebrook to High Marnham. A trip through the former North Notts Coalfields.
This is a video from a few years ago taken from a Charter train. The trip starts approaching Shirebrook and then heads East over the former Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast railway co metals past former colliery junctions and closed stations before passing the Network Rail Innovation site at Tuxford. We then carry on to the end of the line at the entrance to what was the Power station at High Marnham.

Places to see in ( Ingleton - UK )
Places to see in ( Ingleton - UK )
Ingleton is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is 19 miles from Kendal and 17 miles from Lancaster on the western side of the Pennines. It is 9.3 miles from Settle.
The River Doe and the River Twiss meet to form the source of the River Greta, a tributary of the River Lune. The village is on the A65 road and at the head of the A687. The B6255 takes the south bank of the River Doe to Ribblehead and Hawes. All that remains of the railway in the village is the landmark Ingleton Viaduct. Arthur Conan Doyle was a regular visitor to the area and was married locally, as his mother lived at Masongill from 1882 to 1917 (see notable people). There is growing evidence to support a claim that the inspiration for the name Sherlock Holmes came from here.
There are major quarries within the parish. Ingleton Quarry is active Meal Bank Quarry no longer is, but extracted Carboniferous limestone and possesses an early Hoffman kiln. There was a textile mill, and the coalfield supported twelve or more small collieries, but Ingleton is mostly known for its tourism, being partially in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering waterfalls in a SSSI, limestone caves and Karst landscape walking opportunities.
The civil parish of Ingleton is extensive, stretching from Blea Moor near Wold Fell SD 793847 in the north to Newby Moor SD 704698 in the south. This area of Craven is best known for its natural landmarks, since the parish includes the summits of two of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Ingleborough and Whernside. Two miles north east of the village on the road to Chapel-le-Dale are the show caves at White Scar Caves. An access tunnel has been cut to allow visitors to visit. The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a five-mile (8 km) circular walk from the village, opened in 1885.
Ingleton Viaduct is a Grade II listed structure in the village. Six miles to the north east on Batty Moss is the Ribblehead Viaduct, a Grade II* listed structure on the Settle and Carlisle Line, and on the land underneath and around it, the scheduled remains of the construction camp and navvy settlements. Ingleton had two railway stations at opposite ends of Ingleton Viaduct. Ingleton (Midland) station opened for ten months only in 1849, then reopened in 1861 until 1954. Ingleton (L&NW) station opened along with the Ingleton Branch Line in 1861, but such was the rivalry between competing railway companies that initially passengers were forced to walk between the stations across the Greta valley floor, despite the viaduct between them.
( Ingleton - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Ingleton . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Ingleton - UK

MATLOCK BATH Derbyshire | Full walking tour of MATLOCK BATH near Matlock, Derbyshire Peak District
Matlock Bath Derbyshire | Walking tour of Matlock Bath near the town of Matlock Derbyshire in the beautiful Peak District
Also watch our tour of Derwent Gardens Matlock Bath ????
Matlock Bath is a small village that is said to be the seaside without the beach or sea! It's situated right next door to the town of Matlock Derbyshire England in the Peak District National Park.
We took our cameras for a wander along the 'seafront' type streets of Matlock Bath for a look around and to see what's there! We loved it although there were maybe a few too many fish and chip shops!!
Matlock Bath was the first ever deliberately created tourist attraction village in the UK after thermal spring and spa waters were discovered here. The Victorians absolutely loved spa water and thermal springs and so flocked to this little village in the Derbyshire Dales for breaks and holidays and to relax in the English countryside.
Sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as Matlock Baths, this place offers a lovely day out as you can wander the little shops and pubs as well as take a lovely boat ride along the River Derwent (see our video of Derwent Gardens on our channel!)
There are attractive gardens, wooded hillsides, and limestone crags to explore as well as the main tourist attraction here the Heights Of Abraham Cable Car Ride which takes you right up to the top of the cliffs for some breathtaking views of the beautiful scenery here!
Lord Byron once called Matlock Bath 'Little Switzerland' and the term stuck for a while with tourists and visitors
Another popular tourist attraction is the Matlock Bath Illuminations which happen here annually where the whole riverside is lit up by beautiful coloured lights
Motorcyclists and bikers also come to Matlock Bath in their droves and it really is a sight to see when the bikes come to town and the whole village is packed with Motor bikers and their friends! The whole street gets absolutely soaked in motorbikes and bike culture with the most amazing Motorbikes parked up and down the whole street!
Things to do in Matlock and Matlock Bath;
As well as the cable car ride that takes you up to The Heights of Abraham and the Victoria Prospect Tower you could also visit The Great Rutland and Masson Caverns which are former lead mines that have been adapted as show caves.
The Grand Pavilion on South Parade is home to the Peak District Mining Museum.
For youngsters and families, the nearby theme park of Gulliver's offers hours of fun
There is also an aquarium in Matlock Bath and a photographic museum in the village.
The Riverside Gardens and Lovers Walks offer a lovely peaceful stroll away from the crowds, and the nearby High Tor affords amazing views from its lofty summit.
The Derwent Valley Heritage Trail runs through the village of Matlock Bath.
Half a mile south of the Matlock Bath is the shopping centre and working textile museum at Masson Mills.

KIMBERLEY: Broxtowe Parish #3 of 10
BROXTOWE PARISH #3: KIMBERLEY
Welcome to Kimberley, one of the towns of Broxtowe, located on the Western fringes of the City of Nottingham. Like many of the other towns and villages in the area much of the history of the town is tied up with the mining and lace industries aided and abetted by the coming of the railways. Its history goes back much further than that though.
It was recorded in the Domesday Book as “Chinemarelie”, and the main landholder at that time was William Peverell who owned large swathes of land in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Over the years Kimberley has expanded to merge almost imperceptibly into neighbouring towns and villages to form a continuous urban landscape from Nottingham to Heanor, encompassing the towns of the Erewash Valley.
Kimberley’s landmarks are plentiful. For a start, look no further than the war memorial, easily the most recognisable structure in the town and a depiction of it used as the logo of the town’s main school. Then there’s a 100 foot high water tower built to supply Nottingham with drinking water from the Derwent Valley. It also has some railway history including two old stations. What really sells this one though would be the buildings of the former Hardy and Hanson’s Brewery. After all its the business which made Kimberley famous.
There’s lots of hills in this one as well. Kimberley definitely ain’t flat! Let’s go!

MORTON: North East Derbyshire Parish #6 of 24
Here comes a village with a bold claim, one that in fact is shared by at least three other places in the UK. All four settlements claim they are the dead centre of England, and they all have things placed within their boundaries which will convince you that they are. Which one is right? Well, for 200 years, Meriden near Coventry was considered the rightful owner of that title…
That was until Fenny Drayton in Leicestershire was granted the status, but Coton in the Elms in Nottinghamshire is the furthest place from any seas. Then there’s this place in North East Derbyshire, which claims it sits exactly in the cross of two lines running North to South, and East to West, from the UK’s furthest points.
Whichever is the correct place, you have to admit, this village can make up for it even if it’s not true. There’s a village hall which used to be a malthouse, there’s a wonderful 8th century Saxon church, there’s a very popular cricket club too, not to mention a former colliery which lends it’s name to it. The colliery itself is gone, but some of the old buildings still stand.
Doe Hill Goods Line used to be the Erewash Valley Extension and it passes through this place as well, and if all that’s not enough, how about the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury who was once the church patron, who used to knock about with Mary Queen of Scots, locking people up for her!
There’s lots to see and learn about as we tackle an ALFRETON postcode village for the first time. This is the dead centre of the country.
Allegedly.
This is MORTON.

STOKEHAM: Bassetlaw Parish #27 of 66
Most of Bassetlaw is covered by gorgeous green open countryside - there's not a whole lot of urban sprawl. In fact what little of that there is is confined to the towns of Retford and Worksop, and I suppose Harworth is starting to grow as a town now too. In the South East of the district though, that kind of construction work is a million miles away. Life out here is very different.
The land that surrounds todays village plays a vital role for the people that live in it. There are farms and businesses that just couldn't cope if there were too many new builds in one go. In fact, this village has shrunk in size in the past few years. In the 2001 census, the parish recorded a population of just 66 people - small enough, yes - but then ten years later it dropped to 46. But don't be fooled, there's still some human activity here.
Euro Diesels provides one form of employment for the locals. This is a company that specialises in the import and export of diesel engines and spare truck parts. You'll find that located at the far Eastern end of what is effectively a one road village. At the other end the looming sight of the imposing Rampton Secure Hospital can be seen...more on that when we hit Rampton and Woodbeck.
For today though, this is just 6 or 7 minutes in one of Bassetlaw's most rural, and thinnest strips of land, sandwiched between East Drayton to the South; Rampton, Treswell and the Levertons to the North. From here you can see Cottam power station too!
It's a parish full of rural charm, and it's doubtful you'll get lost if you come to STOKEHAM.

TRIP TO WH DAVIES AT SHIREBROOK
Drivers Eye. Gainsborough - Shireoaks Via Retford & Worksop. A Covid Lockdown entertainment feature.
Here is a silent film from a few years ago. The journey is from Gainsborough Central to Shireoaks Via Retford LL and Worksop. This piece of railway is now a shadow of its former self when Coal was King. We leave Gainsborough Central head over Gainsborough Trent Jn onto the Worksop line passing the upper Trent valley power station of West Burton. Going on through Retford Low Level which opened in 1849. Sorry for some reason the editing software dropped the date off the footage.
Passing Thrumpton East , known locally has Whisker Hill, As we carry on to Worksop just before Worksop at the 19m00s mark we pass the sidings that was formerly Manton Colliery then through Worksop station and passed the yards and see the rows of stored HTA coal vehicles awaiting their fate. Some have been re-purposed into stone wagons with the rest being cut up. The yards are now owned by Harry Needle RC and they use the yard for storing new and used vehicles.
The Robin Hood line diverges to the left after Worksop and we carry on to Shireoaks station with the now derelict signal box on the right.
Like all the older videos Sound recording was not permitted. But we hope it doesn't spoil your viewing too much.
