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.

Visit Historic Harwich, England
Historic Harwich, possibly the most hospitable town in England. On our recent trip, several members of The Harwich Society greeted us at the train station. Peter Chandler, Harwich Society tour guide, gave us a walking tour of many of the town's historical sites. Next, Ray Plummer, archivist, showed us the old jail and provided much history of it. Finally, Dave McLeod, Mayor of Harwich, and many town officials greeted us in the Guildhall with tea and much hospitality. Indeed, our visit to Harwich was the highlight of our cruise vacation.

Harwich Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around 70 miles northeast of London, is the town of Harwich.
The town's name is derived from Old English 'here' and 'wīc', meaning 'army camp', allegedly because the Danes camped here in the 9th century. Geographically it stands at the mouth of the River Stour as it feeds into the North Sea. As such, it has been a key ferry port for several centuries.
During the 13th century, the Earl of Norfolk transformed Harwich from a tiny village into a busy town with a grid layout. Wool was exported from its port, while wine was imported upon return. It was the embarkation point of various English fleets during the Hundred Years War with France.
In circa 1570, Christopher Jones was born in Harwich. It was in the town that he learned to become a master mariner. In 1605 he built a ship which he later traded in 1608 for a smaller one called 'Mayflower'. Jones moved to Rotherhithe in 1611, and in 1620 he would transport his ship first to Southampton, then to Plymouth as an emergency stop, and finally to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Whilst originally intended for exporting and importing goods such as wool and wine, Mayflower transported over 100 passengers over the Atlantic in extremely cramped conditions. The passengers were known as the Pilgrims, and they became the first Europeans to settle permanently in North America. Jones's house features just before the 18-minute mark.
Between 1808 and 1810 the Harwich Redoubt was built. Situated on a hilltop just south of the historic town centre, this fort was constructed to safeguard against the threat of Napoleonic invasion, complete with effective artillery power to withstand a lengthy siege. Today it serves as a museum.
In 1818 the High Lighthouse was built. This, alongside another, known as the Low Lighthouse, helped to guide the ships entering Harwich Harbour. However, due to the silting up of the surrounding waters, they became known as 'misleading lights', and their use was discontinued in 1863.
By 1819 the town's original church had become dilapidated. It was pulled down and rebuilt from scratch. Thus, in 1822 St Nicholas Church was consecrated.
During the 1850s the neighbouring settlement of Dovercourt, just to the west of Harwich town centre, began to be developed as a seaside resort. The man largely responsible for its growth was East India merchant John Bagshaw, who discovered a chalybeate spring here. Bagshaw's plan to turn it into one of the great spa towns fell short, and he was declared bankrupt in 1859. Dovercourt forms part of a continuous settlement just adjacent to Harwich's historic town centre.
In 1854 the railway arrived in Harwich with the opening of stations at both the town centre and Dovercourt. This was followed, in 1883, by Harwich International station just to the west - originally known as Harwich Parkeston Quay until 1995. All three stations remain open today, and form the final three stops on the Mayflower Line. This is a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line which links up to Manningtree to the west, which in turn connects to London Liverpool Street and Norwich. Harwich International provides access to the town's ferry port with services to Hoek van Holland.
In 1911 the Electric Palace Cinema opened in Harwich. This is one of the earliest purpose-built cinemas still operating. It closed in 1956 following flood damage a few years earlier, but was restored and reopened in 1981.

EXPLORING BEACON HILL FORT HARWICH ESSEX
BEFORE WATCHING THIS PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE DID NOT MANAGE TO GET INTO THE FORT. I WAS CONSIDERING DELETING THIS FOOTAGE, BUT WAS PERSUADED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE TO RELEASE IT.
I was joined by Jake for this failed attempt to enter Beacon Hill Fort in Harwich Essex on the coast. It has recently been bought from the council by two men who plan to restore and renovate the huge 5 acre site which contains close to 25 different buildings, ranging from observation towers, gun pits and emplacements, bunkers, pillboxes, underground tunnels and barracks.
They hope to turn it into a tourist attraction and open it to the public and bring an increased amount of tourism and money to the town of Harwich. This won't be ready until around 2022, but work has already begun on clearing and tidying the site up. They could do a great job, or they could turn it into an awful sanitised exhibition complete with zip wire, interactive centre and outdoor sports zone, gift shop and cafe!
Here is a link to the online newspaper article regarding the purchase of the site and their plans for it's future:
I would love to see it before this happens, but to be honest, I would probably pay to go in and walk around! At this present moment in time it is near on impossible to find entry into the site as it is behind an impenetrable metal spiked fence with cctv and guard dogs.
Originally built in the 19th century, it saw use in World War One, and was re-adapted in World War II, retaining the same basic plan.
A new emplacement was built to the south and fitted with twin 6 pounder (2.7 kg) guns, used for fast moving targets such as torpedo boats. Search lights were added to the 1860 battery on the front, and a pill box built on the extreme south west corner of the fort on Dovercourt Bay. The fort contains six main gun emplacements, battery observation post, two pill boxes, shelters, accommodation for officers, guard hut, store, workshops, fire engine shed, magazines, electricians store and shop, engine room and electric light platforms.
The works continue along the coast northwards, comprising a massive bank into which pill boxes and a two storey hexagonal radar tower have been constructed, all with commanding views of the Orwell estuary opposite Landguard fort.
Many of the 20th century buildings survive and retain important military information on the architecture of gun installations, ammunition storage, communications, observation and radar posts.
Instead, I have included some links below showing you a more detailed account of the interior of the site.
