10 Crap Towns in England
What are the crap towns in England? The name England evokes pride, and living in England on its own, in the UK for that matter, is something to be proud of. However, it is not all English towns that you can and should be proud of. Some places are considered ‘crap towns’ in England. Please note that this position doesn’t originate from us. It is from observation of those living in those towns in England and those who have visited. And those who are living in these towns agree that theirs are among the worst towns to live in England. Yet, we can’t find any ground to refute their position based on our private findings. In this video, you will see the towns that folks refer to as the 10 ‘crap towns’ in England.
10. Blackburn
We open this discussion in a large industrial town of Blackburn located in Lancashire. It’s north of the West Pennine Moors and on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley. Blackburn is just 8 miles east of Preston and also 20 miles northwest of Manchester. The mere consideration of its location alone could give some people an idea of the reason for its being labeled as one of the ‘crap towns’ in England.
Beyond that, however, pieces of ratings Blackburn is been given in this recent past are bad. Not long ago, the author of a popular report named it one of the most segregated towns in Britain. We dare add that the tough riot is one of the results of idleness, wants, and general dissatisfaction with life reflected in how people throng turn to street begging. You’ll see youngsters bunking off school and harassing passersby for money to be used in buying a cheeseburger.
9. Oldham
Not many people will expect this old town of Oldham which is also the administrative and authority center of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham to be described as a ‘crap town.’ But what does the reality on the ground portray about this large town in Greater Manchester? It shows that the town which is about 5 miles southeast of Rochdale and 6 miles northeast of Manchester is actually one of the worst towns to live in the UK. Don’t let us relate want we ourselves have found.
Some feel that the town lacks all culture and sophistication that can be emulated.
8. Castleford
“A trip to Castleford is a real eye-opener . . . and you need to keep your eyes open because if you dare to close them, they’d have your wallet faster than you could say” said a voter who voted Castleford one of the ‘crap town’ in the UK. Coming back home in England, a town with this recognition is certainly one of the crap towns in England. This town in the City of Wakefield within the county of West Yorkshire has always got bad reviews whenever it is to be discussed.
This low standard in this town may be due in part to its being a town of kith and kin. Sentimental attachments to relationships are likely to come in the way of standardization and adherence to the due process. This Wakefield’s largest town was also rued thus “you have to wonder whether the essence of chavdom stems from bad breeding, or in the case of Castleford, possible interbreeding.”
7. Blackpool
It might take a while before Blackpool get itself off a list like this. It is a consensus member in the rank of the ‘crap towns’ in the UK. We have also seen it mentioned in several lists of the worst towns to live in England and the UK. Blackpool is also on and off of lists of the most depressing towns to live in the UK. Why then is it still boasting of being the entertainment capital of the North it claims to be when a stratum of the society actually sees it as one of the most boring places to live in the UK?
A reviewer said of this town: “While in Blackpool all you smell is weed, McDonald's, KFC - you may think it's a jolly seaside resort with candy floss and donkeys but it's a scum-bucket for the transients who come here to draw benefits in a holiday resort instead of in an inner city.” Is that not what you would expect of a place described as a ‘crap town’ in England?

Places to see in ( Spennymoor - UK )
Places to see in ( Spennymoor - UK )
Spennymoor is a town in County Durham, England. It stands above the Wear Valley approximately seven miles south of Durham. The town was founded over 160 years ago. The Town Council area, which includes the villages of Kirk Merrington, Middlestone Moor, Byers Green and Tudhoe, has a population of approximately 20,000.
The land on which Spennymoor now stands was once a vast expanse of moorland covered with thorn and whin bushes (Spenny Moor). The origin of the name remains somewhat uncertain – some believe it to be derived from the Latin Spina which means a thorn (possibly from the Roman influence at Binchester) and Mor which was the Anglo-Saxon word for a moor. C.E. Jackson, in his Place Names of Durham, 1916, suggests a Scandinavian Spaan meaning shingle-hut and Anglo-Saxon combination involving mar – Spennymoor being the moor called after the shingle-hut erected thereon.
When, in 1894, Spennymoor and its adjacent villages achieved a measure of self-government on the Spennymoor Urban District Council, the new authority found itself facing a legacy of poor housing. With few exceptions, the housing situation was little better than when Dodd had described the houses as more like piggeries. In 1874 the then Local Government Board had reported: Nothing could well exceed the nuisance attendant on the disposal of excrement and refuse in Spennymoor.
Dating from 1183, the Whitworth Hall estate was owned by and home to the Shafto family for over 300 years, including County Durham MP Bonnie Bobby Shafto, made famous by the well known ballad and nursery rhyme. It is now the site of Whitworth Hall Hotel and the deer park for which the estate is famed is still well tended, as is the walled garden.
A local arts community founded in the 1930s by Bill & Betty Farrell with the aid of the Pilgrim Trust, To encourage tolerant neighbourliness and voluntary social services and give its members opportunities for increasing their knowledge, widening their interests, and cultivating their creative powers in a friendly atmosphere. The Settlement was home to the town's first library, and amongst famous local people who were a part of its history were Norman Cornish, the pitman painter and Shildon-born writer Sid Chaplin. The building is a centre for the arts- mostly drama and music, but other community events take place here.
The main attractions in Spennymoor are the local leisure centre, and Victoria Jubilee Park which was given to the people of the town by Queen Victoria to celebrate the jubilee of her reign, and is sited on land which was once part of the Whitworth Hall estate of the Shafto family. Until World War II there was a cannon from the Crimean War on display in the park, this was taken away to be melted down for munitions. A Millennium arch was erected in the park.
( Spennymoor - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Spennymoor . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Spennymoor - UK

SOUTH FERRIBY: North Lincolnshire Parish #9 of 56
At the point where the Lincolnshire Wolds meet the Humber Estuary was the Southern end of an ancient ferry over the Humber. The entry in the Domesday Book records two ferries. In order to sustain two ferries that suggests that a prosperous trading community must have been flourishing at the time. Transport here is still pretty good. By road it’s close to the A15. That’s the road that crosses the River Humber to connect to the A63 to Hull and the M62 motorway.
There is a certain boat-y theme here. Three Bronze-Age British sewn plank-built boats were discovered in the Humber here. Only a small number of boats of a similar period have been found in Britain and the Ferriby examples are the earliest known sewn-plank boats found in Europe. Both the Romans and the Saxon occupied this area, before the Vikings came along in 870AD. It’s they who are responsible for the village’s name. In much more recent times, the Nelthorpe family were prominent local landowners. Sir Henry Nelthorpe was the man who endowed the village’s first free school in 1822
The village was one of the first to have piped water with houses plumbing into the supply which was put down to supply steam ships, and here you’ll find an unusual landmark - an overhead conveyor belt that passes to the South of the village just outside the school. We’ll see where that goes to in this very video.
There’s a sluice which crosses the River Ancholme, a tributary of the Humber. The river has been used by humans since at least 800 BC, confirmed by the excavation of a planked boat at Brigg. Major changes to the Ancholme occurred in 1635, when a new straight channel was constructed, and most of the water flows via the “New” River Ancholme. The old course is mostly reduced to a drain.
I loved this village. I’d never been here before. There are beautiful views across the Humber in places and the fact that part of it is on a rather steep hill only helps in showing off the amazing SOUTH FERRIBY.

Durham City and Durham Cathedral Summer 2021
Durham City is famous for its Cathedral and Castle. The castle is used by the university to accommodate the students, it is normally open for visitors but with Covid restrictions is closed currently. The Cathedral is still open and you are able to explore following their newly developed one way system, but the treasures of St Cuthbert which is housed in the museum is not yet open, but you can visit the Shrine of St Cuthbert. The river is busy with people having fun rowing, and the small cafes and restaurant are also very busy at the moment. Durham City is small city with the Cathedral and Castle perched on the hill, with a beautiful river and walkways. A Lot of Durham is under further development at the moment as it is a booming city. Durham City is just a twenty minute drive from Newcastle City centre and there are also rail links from Newcastle.

The town of Bowness in the Lake District is a great base of operations for heading out to see the other lakes in the district and enjoying some detours as will be showing you here. There are actually two towns joined together here as one got Windermere, about a mile to the north and Bowness-on-Windermere along the shores of the Lake. Each center has its cluster of shops and restaurants but the main focus is down at Bowness, which has most of the hotels and has that special setting along the water.
Properly called Bowness-on-Windermere, the town really is a quaint and charming place even though it's got a lot of competition with the lakes and the mountains and the other villages nearby, which is where you want to spend most of your time, but it's always nice to come home to Bowness. It really is an ideal kind of an English country town even though it is touristic. But when you're here in the off-season as we are, visiting in May, it's really not crowded at all, and it's got that hilly atmosphere and winding streets. There are some little back lanes and a lot of restaurants to take care of you.
There are some bars and walkways along the waterfront. Bowness on Windermere really does embrace the Lake. The little beach in town always has a lot of geese and ducks and swans looking for food.
You’ll need to spend at least several nights in the area this to really get a chance to see the charming countryside, explore some towns, do a little shopping, and perhaps enjoy some fine dining on offer here in Bowness and Windermere.
We’ll also take you on some hikes along the lake shore and up in the hills hear Sawney, and then on a ride on a miniature train.

Page Bank in County Durham. England. (4K)
Page Bank is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated on the north bank of the River Wear to the east of Willington and to the north-west of Spennymoor.
Aberdeen Walk: City Centre【4K】
Located in North East Scotland, and around 130 miles northeast of Glasgow, is the city of Aberdeen.
Geographically, the city is situated adjacent to the north sea, at the mouth of the River Don (north of the city centre) and River Dee (south of the city centre). Its name derives from Brythonic-Pictish, and translates to 'mouth of the River Don'. The river's name in turn derives from the Celtic river goddess Devona. Note the 'aber' prefix is also found in Welsh due to it being the same family of Celtic languages.
The Aberdeen of today started out as two separate settlements - what we now refer to as Old Aberdeen to the north by the River Don, and New Aberdeen to the south by the River Dee. In 1136 the first reference to a harbour here was recorded. Still operating to this day, this is thought to be the oldest business in Britain.
In 1179 Aberdeen was granted a royal charter by William I, a.k.a. William the Lion. In 1264 the first reference was made to a castle here. However, this was destroyed in circa 1308, supposedly by Robert I, a.k.a. Robert the Bruce. Aberdeen had been subjugated by the English during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Bruce and his men laid siege to the castle and massacred the English garrison. According to legend, during this time Bruce used the password 'Bon Accord' (French for 'good agreement') to communicate with the people of Aberdeen supporting his campaign. Today 'Bon Accord' is used both as the city's motto and in various street names as well as one of its shopping centres.
In 1495 King's College was founded in Aberdeen. This was followed, in 1593, with the founding of a second university here, namely Marischal College. In 1860 the two merged to form the University of Aberdeen.
From the 18th century into the mid 20th century, granite was quarried in significant volumes around the vicinity of Aberdeen. This was used in the construction of many of the buildings that stand today, earning it the nickname 'Granite City'.
In 1850 the railway arrived in Aberdeen with the opening of Aberdeen Ferryhill railway station. In 1854 the line reached the city centre when Aberdeen Guild Street railway station opened, followed by Aberdeen Waterloo in 1856. The present station dates from 1867.
In 1874 Aberdeen Town House was completed. With its distinctive clock tower, it is one of the city's most iconic landmarks - although city status wasn't granted until 1891.
In 1934 Aberdeen International Airport opened. It is located around five miles northwest of the city centre. Aberdeen is also home to a ferry port to the Orkney and Shetland Islands.
During the Second World War, Aberdeen endured the highest number of air raids in Scotland, having been under attack on 34 occasions. Over 100 were killed and thousands of homes were destroyed in the city.
In 1969 oil was discovered off the coast of Norway on an American rig. This marked the beginning of an oil rush, and a subsequent transformation of Aberdeen. British companies discovered multiple oil fields in the following years, and by 1975, the first oil was transported ashore. Workers began to flock to the city, and Aberdeen soon came to be known as the oil capital of Europe. The industry was marred by the Piper Alpha Disaster of 1988 when 167 North Sea workers were killed following an explosion.
Aberdeen is represented in sport by Aberdeen Football Club and Cove Rangers. Aberdeen F.C. are the larger of the two, and were founded in 1903. They play their home games at the Pittodrie Stadium just northeast of the city centre. From 1978 to 1986 they were managed by none other than Alex Ferguson, during which time they won three Scottish league championships, four Scottish Cups and one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Ferguson would go on to even greater success at Manchester United following his departure in '86.
Famous people from Aberdeen (known as Aberdonians) include Lord Byron, who lived here from the ages of 2 to 10, and Annie Lennox.
