10 Most Miserable Towns in the UK
What are the most miserable towns in the United Kingdom? Many of the towns in the United Kingdom are not doing too badly in terms of basic amenities. The quality of life in those towns is higher even than in places recognized as cities in other countries. Still, it can’t be said that all those towns are having it equally. Assessing the standard of living and quality of life in the UK as a whole, we can describe certain towns in the United Kingdom as miserable. Granted, those towns are not inherently terrible. Yet, the situation there is not acceptable in the light of what we see in other villages, towns, and cities, in the UK. In this video, we shall be discussing the 10 most miserable towns in the UK.
10. Cumbernauld, Scotland
We will start our discussion with a town in Scotland. To give you a hint; this is the first of the three Scottish towns on this list of the 10 most miserable towns in the UK. We are talking about Cumbernauld, a large town in North Lanarkshire with an area of 8.3 square miles or 21.5 square kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it should be a city because of its city-like huge population of 51,000.
It has not shed that horrible description as “Scotland’s most dismal town.” Truly speaking, this town is lacking in anything of the good things you would find in Glasgow or Edinburgh. The center of Cumbernauld has been described as the “Kabul of the North.” This says it all. Whatever you know about Kabul has its miniature in this miserable town.
9. Grimsby, England
The first of the 5 cities in England on this list is Grimsby. Maybe we should stop calling it Great Grimsby. If it were great indeed, this port town and the North East Lincolnshire administrative center on the south bank of the Humber Estuary would have all amenities that would make it rank among the best. But the comments from its residents and one-time visitors indicated that life is miserable in this place that has been voted several times as one of the worst places to live in England.
Therefore, the town of around 100,000 residents is one of the most miserable towns in the UK. Its entire area of 88 square miles (or 230 square kilometers) has been ranked the 18th worst place to live a while ago.
8. Airdrie, Scotland
Back in Scotland; we are now examining Airdrie, a town in North Lanarkshire. It also is one of the most miserable towns in the UK. The town on a plateau with an elevation of 400 feet or 130 meters above sea level is about 12 miles (or 19 kilometers) east of Glasgow city center. During its industrial heyday in the 19th century, coal mining and cotton milling were the major industries, no one could then think of this former industrial town as miserable.
However, the exit of those industries has made life there miserable to extent of being branded the most dismal town in the UK. The PR manager for the town admits it deserves its grim reputation as the worst in Scotland. The town is boring and the buildings are ugly.

LEICESTER | A walking tour of Leicester City Centre
We take a look around the city centre of Leicester, England to see what it's like and what's there!
This is the second time we've been to this great city, with the time before being at Christmas last year.
The city of Leicester is most famous for its culturally diverse scene and world-class universities. Arts and culture thrive in the aptly named Cultural Quarter, where you can find dozens of galleries, museums, and theatres putting on a wide range of events.
In the busy City Centre, pedestrian streets lined with fashion and sportswear stores fan out from the landmark 1868 Clock Tower, and malls include Highcross, with a cinema and global eats. Near the medieval Cathedral, the King Richard III Visitor Centre highlights the 15th-century ruler’s life and the discovery of his grave in a nearby car park. The half-timbered, 1300s Guildhall hosts performances and has a museum.
Leicester has been named as one of the best cities in which to live and work in the UK, according to latest research. The 2015 Good Growth for Cities Index ranks Leicester in the top 10 of UK cities, highest in the Midlands and ahead of London and Cardiff.

Lutterworth Station on the Lost Great Central Railway
The Disused Lutterworth Station on the Lost Great Central Railway in Leicestershire.
This is Part 1 of my new series looking at some of the GCR remains around the Leicester area. We start between Leicester and Rugby and the former Lutterworth Station.
Lutterworth station opened in 1899. Little remains of the actual station itself today. The station masters house sits at the top of Station Road, and the bridge under the station is still present along with the bricked up archway that led up the stairs to the island platform.
Much of the station site and goods yard is now a housing estate.
The station closed fully in 1969, although it was already in decline at this stage and and had been unmanned for a number of years.
The Great Central Railway (GCR) History:
In the early 1890s the Mancesterter, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway was looking to extend from it’s current network south to London. Work started in 1895 and in 1897 the company become the Great Central Railway – the last main line to be built in England. The line opened in 1899 linking the cities of London, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield & Manchester.
In 1923 it was grouped into the London North Eastern Railway. Various factors saw it’s decline until closing in stages in the 1960s with a big hand from Dr Beeching.

River Soar - VIDEO TOUR (Leicester, England, UK)
The River Soar in Leicester!
The River Soar is a major tributary of the River Trent in the English East Midlands and is the principal river of Leicestershire. The source of the river is midway between Hinckley and Lutterworth. The river then flows north through Leicester, where it is joined by the Grand Union Canal. Continuing on through the Leicestershire Soar Valley, it passes Loughborough and Kegworth until it reaches the Trent at the county boundary. In the 18th century, the Soar was made navigable, initially between Loughborough and the Trent, and then through to Leicester. It was not until the early 19th century that it was linked by the Grand Union Canal to the wider network to the south and to London.

Places to see in ( Lutterworth - UK )
Lutterworth is a market town and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. The town is located in southern Leicestershire, 6.8 mi north of Rugby, in Warwickshire and 15 mi south of Leicester.
The name of Lutterworth is probably derived from the Old Norse name Lutter's Vordig meaning Luther's farm. Lutterworth was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The town was granted its market charter in 1214 by King John and continues to hold a market to this day, every Thursday. Usually there are up to ten stalls selling a variety of items from fruit and vegetables to clothes.
In the 14th century, the religious reformer Canon John Wycliffe was rector in Lutterworth's parish church of St Mary between 1374 and 1384, and it was here that he is traditionally believed to have produced the first translation of the Bible from Latin into English.
The Irish statesman Robert le Poer was parish priest here c.1318.
In the days of the stagecoach, Lutterworth was an important stopping-place on the road from Leicester to Oxford and London, and many former coaching inns remain in the town. The town also contains some historic half-timbered buildings, some of which date back to the 16th century.
Three railway stations have borne the name Lutterworth, but only one was actually in the town. The first was Ullesthorpe & Lutterworth, about 3 mi (4.8 km) to the north west, on the former Midland Railway (later part of the LMS) line from Rugby to Leicester, closed on 1 January 1962. The second was Welford & Kilworth, at one time known as Welford & Lutterworth, some 5 mi (8.0 km) east on the London and North Western Railway (also later LMS) line from Rugby to Market Harborough and Peterborough, closed on 6 June 1966. The third (the only one actually in Lutterworth) was on the Great Central Railway (later part of the LNER), the last main line to be constructed from the north of England to London, opened on 15 March 1899.
One of the established landmarks of the town is the 17th century building on the corner of George Street and Leicester Road, a tavern called the Cavalier Inn. The Cavalier Inn is located just on the northern edge of the town centre of Lutterworth and dates back to the 17th century. Although the building has been tastefully modified over the years, it still retains its rustic charm with granite walls and low ceilings and beams.
The architect of Lutterworth Town Hall was Joseph Hansom, who took out the first patent of the horse-drawn hansom cab. He also built Birmingham Town Hall. Another of the landmarks of the town centre is the thatched roof & timber framed building now known as the 'Shambles Inn'. This former abattoir and butcher's is the oldest timber-framed building in Lutterworth dating back to the 16th century, it was a first used as a public house in 1791 until 1840 it was then converted back to a home and butcher's shop. In 1982 it was converted back into a public house and named the Shambles.
Lutterworth lies on the A426 Leicester–Rugby road, adjacent to the M1 motorway at junction 20. It is also located within a few miles of the M6 motorway and A5 trunk road. The town once had a station on the Great Central Railway; however, since its closure the nearest railway station is now at Rugby. A southern bypass, the A4303, was opened in 1999, providing a route for traffic from the M1 to the A5 to avoid Lutterworth town centre.

Walking in Rugby UK Town

A Railway Walk to Dunton Bassett Tunnel, GCR Leicestershire
A Disused Railway Walk to Dunton Bassett Tunnel, Great Central Railway Leicestershire
Continuing our lost Great Central Railway series and in part 2 we take a walk down the disused railway trackbed to see the Southern Portal of Dunton Bassett tunnel.
Built in 1896, on the GCR between Rugby and Leicester, just north of the town of Lutterworth.
We jump on the trackbed at a disused farm bridge, pass an old dilapidated Plate Layers Hut and fight our way through the undergrowth to the tunnel entrance.
On our visit the gates were locked and access was not possible. However there are reports of easier access from the other end.
At the other end of the tunnel is the Ashby Magna station, built alongside the M1 motorway.
The Great Central Railway (GCR) History:
In the early 1890s the Mancesterter, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway was looking to extend from it’s current network south to London. Work started in 1895 and in 1897 the company become the Great Central Railway – the last main line to be built in England. The line opened in 1899 linking the cities of London, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield & Manchester.
In 1923 it was grouped into the London North Eastern Railway. Various factors saw it’s decline until closing in stages in the 1960s with a big hand from Dr Beeching.

Great Central Railway - Steam Engine, Leicester North New and Old Stations
The final part of our day out exploring the lost Great Central Railway in Leicestershire.
We have traversed Leicester and now find ourselves just to the north of the city where part of the old Great Centrail Mainline is thriving as a heritage railway. It runs for just over eight miles south from the town of Loughborough, through some lovingly restored stations before arriving at our destination for today - Leicester North station.
Leicester North is built next to the the original Belgrave & Birstall station site, which opened in 1899 upon opening of the GC mainline.
It closed in 1963 but in the following years suffered from vandalism until it was unfortunately demolished between 1977 and the late 1980s. The new station of Leicester North opened in 1991 slightly south of the original station.
On our visit we have a look around the station, old and new and await the arrival of the final heritage service of the day - a class 9F 2-10-0 steam engine 92214. We see many old photos of this type of steam locomotive on the GCR during it's final years of service.
*****Info on the GCR, taken from their website:
The Great Central Railway is the UK's only double track, main line heritage railway. It’s the only place in the world where full size steam engines can be seen passing each other – just as it was when steam ruled the rails.
Trains run every weekend of the year, bank holidays and selected week days through the summer. In addition, First Class Restaurant Car Services provide five course meals whilst travelling between Loughborough and Leicester. Childhood dreams can come true with a Drive a Locomotive Experience when you can take the regulator on a mighty steam locomotive or notch up on a powerful diesel. We also run many special events, including Steam Galas, Paw Patrol, Bonfire Night, 1940s Wartime Weekend and Santa Specials.*******

***Overview of Class 9F***
The British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 is a class of steam locomotive designed for British Railways by Robert Riddles. The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful steam locomotive types ever built for British Railways, and successfully performed its intended duties. The class was given the nickname of 'Spaceships', due to its size and shape.
Dont forget to go give our other Lost Leicestershire GCR videos a watch (Lutterworth GCR, Dunton Bassett Tunnel, The last Bridge over the M1, Whetstone Viaduct & the GCR through Leicester City Centre) - available in our back catalogue.
