10 Poorest Places in The UK
What are the poorest places in the UK? The last thing that’ll come to mind when the UK is mentioned is poverty. It’s not among the countries you’ll associate poverty with. This should be clearly noted as we begin. Yet, not every part of Great Britain has the affluence of London, Edinburgh, or Glasgow. Some places in the UK are poor. We’re here to show you the 10 poorest places in the UK.
These places are the same neighborhood with the biggest shortages of basic social infrastructure and facilities such as playgrounds, parks, pubs, shops, and sports centers. You’ll find some of them among the areas left behind in England, Wales, and Scotland. Authorities have to do something about these 10 poorest places in the UK.
10. Newport, Wales
We’re starting in Wales. One of the poorest places in the UK is a city and county borough in Gwent in Wales. We are referring to Newport which is situated on the River Usk close to the river’s confluence with the Severn Estuary. It is 19 kilometers northeast of Cardiff. Newport’s population of 145,700 at the 2011 census notwithstanding, all is not going on fine with the city. It can’t get past its nagging poverty.
Imagine this: of Newport’s 95 neighborhoods in Newport, 23 currently rank among the most deprived in Wales. Do the math, and you will find out that this is about 24 percent of the authority. That’s the biggest percentage of deprivation in the country.
9. Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland
Wales doesn’t have a monopoly on poor places. Scotland has, at least, one of the 10 poorest places in the UK. You’ll find the ninth on our list in Inverclyde. This is Greenock, a town and administrative center in the Inverclyde council area. The town with a population of 44,248 is located in the west-central Lowlands of Scotland.
As proof of how gripping the poverty state of this town is, its population reduced by almost 3,000 within 10 years. In a report that shows how poor some parts of the nations are, Greenock tops the list. In the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation for 2020, Greenock has the highest number of deprived areas in Scotland.
8. Halton, England
England too has some of the poorest places in the UK and the first of these on this list is the eighth poorest place in the UK, Halton. The district and unitary authority that registers its name on this list has a borough status in Cheshire.
When you consider its ranking as one of the worst areas in England and Wales by a global children's charity that also ranks Halton as one of the worst areas in England and Wales to be a girl, you will understand why Halton slipped into the rank of the 20 most deprived areas in England. Other indices like life expectancy, children poverty which is 25 percent, health inequality, and unemployment rates are not in a positive light for this district.
7. Merthyr Tydfil, Wales
We’re back in Wales to find Merthyr Tydfil, the main town in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, as the seventh of the 10 poorest places in the UK. The town administered by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is about 37 kilometers north of Cardiff. Often called Merthyr, the town believed to be named after Tydfil, daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog, has a population of 43,820.
This town seems to be hitting above its weight as the go-to place for those looking for gloomy job news. As of March 2018, the unemployment rate was 5.7 percent. Even though it's an iron producer, poor transportation service is the bane of this town that makes it so poor.
6. South Elmsall, England
South Elmsall is a small town and a civil parish lying to the east of Hemsworth with a population of 6,519. When it comes to safety, this town is among the most dangerous of small towns, villages, and cities in West Yorkshire. It’s faring badly in income deprivation, employment deprivation, education, skills and training deprivation, health deprivation, and disability. The 2021 overall crime rate in South Elmsall was 111 crimes per 1,000 people Living in this small town, you will be on a downward spiral of ill health and at the risk of premature death or the impairment of quality of life caused by poor physical or mental health.

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.

Places to see in ( Bishop Auckland - UK )
Bishop Auckland is a market town and civil parish in County Durham in north east England. Bishop Auckland is located about 12 miles northwest of Darlington and 12 miles southwest of Durham at the confluence of the River Wear with its tributary the River Gaunless.
Much of the Bishop Auckland early history surrounds the bishops of Durham and the establishment of a hunting lodge, which later became the main residence of the Bishops of Durham. This link with the Bishops of Durham is reflected in the first part of the town's name.
During the Industrial Revolution, Bishop Auckland grew rapidly as coal mining took hold as an important industry. The subsequent decline of the coal mining industry in the late twentieth century has been blamed for a fall in the town's fortunes in other sectors. Today, the largest sector of employment in the town of Bishop Auckland is manufacturing.
Since 1 April 2009, the town's local government has come from the Durham County Council Unitary Authority. The unitary authority replaced the previous Wear Valley District Council and Durham County Council. Bishop Auckland is located in the Bishop Auckland parliamentary constituency. The town has a town-twinning with the French town of Ivry-sur-Seine.
Bishop Auckland is located about 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Darlington and 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Durham. The town is served by Bishop Auckland railway station, which marks the point where the Tees Valley Line becomes the Weardale Railway. The town is not served directly by any motorways. Notable wards include Cockton Hill, Woodhouse Close, and Henknowle. Additionally, once neighbouring villages such as South Church, Tindale Crescent, St Helen Auckland, and West Auckland now more or less merge seamlessly into the town.
The town has a number of Grade I listed buildings. The grounds of Auckland Castle alone contain seven such structures. Additionally Escomb Saxon Church, St Andrew's parish church, St Helen's church, St Helen Hall, West Auckland Manor House, the East Deanery and the 14th century Bishop Skirlaw bridge are all Grade I listed. Other notable buildings include the town hall, a Victorian railway viaduct and Binchester Roman fort.
The town has links with the birth of the railways, with the original 1825 route of the Stockton and Darlington Railway passing through West Auckland and Timothy Hackworth, a well-known locomotive builder, built steam locomotives in the neighbouring town of Shildon. Today, Bishop Auckland railway station still provides passenger services being located at the end of the Wear Valley Line. Since May 2010 it has been re-connected with the Weardale Railway which provides passenger services up the valley to Stanhope.
( Bishop Auckland - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Bishop Auckland . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Bishop Auckland - UK

Places to see in ( Newton Aycliffe - UK )
Newton Aycliffe is a town in County Durham, England. Founded in 1947 under the New Towns Act of 1946, the town sits about five miles to the north of Darlington and ten miles to the south of the city of Durham. It is the oldest new town in the north of England, and together with the bordering Aycliffe Village (to the south) and the north part of School Aycliffe (to the west), forms the civil parish of Great Aycliffe.
At the 2001 census, Great Aycliffe had a population of 26,385, although in 2007 Great Aycliffe Town Council reported this had risen to 29,000. It is the largest town within the Sedgefield constituency. Within a radius of 10 miles (16 km) are several towns and villages including Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Heighington. To the south of the town is the village of Aycliffe. Newton comes from 'New Town'. Aycliffe Village is near to the A1(M) junction with the A167 (former A1).
On the edge of the town is the Bishop Auckland to Darlington railway branch line which is part of the 1825 Stockton and Darlington Railway. George Stephenson's steam locomotive Locomotion No 1 was placed on the rails close to Newton Aycliffe near to where Heighington station is. The Great North Road passed (A1) through the town until 1969.
The original Woodham was a medieval village, although apart from a few low mound earthworks (on private land) there is no trace of this original village. It was located on the northern side of the Woodham Burn stream and to the East of the A167 that cuts through the site in a north-south direction.
There are no streets in Newton Aycliffe (no places of residence with the suffix 'street'.). The main road which runs through the centre of the town is 'Central Avenue'. There are many Roads, Closes, Crescents and even a Parade. In the older parts of the town the streets are named after Bishops of Durham and Saints: Van Mildert (road); St. Aidan's (walk); Biscop (Crescent). Some are named after prominent local families such as Shafto (way), Eden (road), and Bowes (Road) for example. Some are even named after the movers and shakers of the New Town Movement such as Lord Lewis Silkin (Silkin Way) and Lord Beveridge (Beveridge Way).
The A167 (old A1) is the main road to the town, it runs to Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne (30 miles) in the north and Darlington (8 miles) and Northallerton in the south. The A1(M) is near to the town and runs to Edinburgh in the north and London to the south, it provides as an alternative route to Durham and Newcastle in the north. The A689 is also near the town and it runs to Bishop Auckland in the west and Hartlepool and Teesside in the east.
The Newton Aycliffe railway station, which is on the Tees Valley Line, has train services provided by Northern to Bishop Auckland and Saltburn. There are connections to East Coast services to Edinburgh and London at Darlington, connections to Grand Central services to Northallerton, York and London at Eaglescliffe, and connections to Northern Rail services to Hartlepool, Sunderland and Newcastle at Thornaby.

Middridge Meadows C&MC CL & Locomotion Railway Museum Shildon in the campervan
A lovely relaxing weekend at Middridge Meadows Caravan & Motorhome Club Certified Location.
We take a look around the CL, and then a walk into Middridge from the CL, take a trip to the Locomotion railway museum in Shildon and then finally a very quick look at the services just off the A1 which may be handy if you're passing.
We had a take away from the Bay Horse pub in Middridge on Friday evening which was tasty. It's about 10 minute walk from the CL to the pub in Middridge.
Close by there's shopping in Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon & Newton Aycliffe.

Locomotion Shildon (A Visit to...)
A visit to Locomotion , Shildon
Friday 4th June 2021
Return To Shildon Documentary (8th October 2012)
Return to Shildon is a second trip to Shildon, the first trip in January wasn'was the ONLY trip until two A4s (60008 Dwight D Esienhower and 60010 Dominion of Canada) were to be on show, the main reason for this trip was to see 60010 before it changed to 4489 but i alsowent to see 60008 while it was there and to see what else was at Shildon... the Deltic Protoype 1 wasn't there but a line up of 2 LNWR Locos 3020 Cornwall and 790 Hardwicke, the first time i've seen two LNWR locos together and unlike January, this time they have a locomotive in steam!
The jounrey was the same like in January expect riding a Northern Rail Class 144 between Doncaster and Sheffield, change at Sheffield ad riding a East Midlands Trains Class 222 to Derby
This unplanned trip starting at Rugeley Trent Valley featuring Virgin Trains and London Midland units, the journey goes to Tamworth, at Tamworth changed for a CrossCounty Class 170 Turbostar to Derby, at Derby quick stop for breakfast and board the 1011 to Newcastle which stops at Sheffield, Doncaster and York before we arrive at Darlington, at Darlington change trains for a Northern Rail Class 142 Pacer and get to Shildon at 1314, Shildon is also part of the first Railway Company, The Stockton and Darlington Railway which is now is part of The Bishop Line, they ran from Stockton to Bishop Auckland via Darlington hauling coal from Bishop Auckland and Shildon to the ports of Stockton, Shildon was also home to a railway works opened in 1825 and Shildon Locomotion Museum lies on part of the works, after a few hours looking around, head back on the Pacer to Darlington and a ride on East Coast Trains Class 91, which was full & standing also they have a stupid rule that if you stand in a first Class carriage you still get change for a first Class ticket, once at Doncaster change for a Northern Rail Class 144 Pacer to Sheffield and change for a East Midlands Trains Class 222 to Derby, once at Derby it boarding a CrossCountry Class 170 to Tamworth and a Class 350 Desiro back to Rugeley
Also a special thanks to to youtube user: unclerayraybatch for his footage of the Northern Rail Class 142 Pacer arriving into Shildon and filming me off the train and it was also nice meeting you and can't wait to see 4489 Dominion Of Canada with the single chimley and the CRP Belle
Secrets of Locomotion: Europe's LARGEST Train Museum Awaits You!
The National Railway Museum New Hall at Locomotion in Shildon. The New Hall, and Main Hall, Museum is the largest undercover collection of historic railway vehicles in Europe. The highlights from Locomotion's New Hall collection include a host of historic vehicles built at Shildon Works, these are an armoured tank, the oldest oil tanker in the world, two snowploughs and a tracked Bren Gun Carrier.
After visiting the Main Hall, I travel across the site to the New Hall Museum, which had just opened that day. It was a clean, well presented display of locomotives, shunters, snowploughs, and other interesting vehicles. There was a walkway right up close to the displays, adequate for pushchairs, scooters, and wheelchairs, with information posts giving you a little information on each vehicle or item. Both this Museum and the National Railway Museum in York are worthy of a visit, both for families and railway enthusiasts.
NOTE: This video is a re-edit of the original version I did (minus my introduction), with this one featuring a voice over, giving a little information on each exhibit I pass. Here is the description from the previous video:
The New Hall at Shildon sits across from Locomotion's Great Hall, and houses 47 additional vehicles in its 2000 square metre building, open to the public on 24 May 2024. Locomotion is a partnership between the Science Museum Group and Durham County Council, with the latter having provided significant funding towards New Hall. The New Hall cost £8 million pounds and features a crane, two snow ploughs, a pair of track inspection velocipedes, historic steam locomotives, numerous freight wagons and even a tracked Bren Gun Carrier, the line-up is sure to include something to complete every train set. When added to the vehicles already at Locomotion there will be 99 rail vehicles - creating the largest undercover display of historic rail vehicles in Europe.
As well as New Hall visitors to Locomotion can see many highlights from the national collection - from the world’s fastest diesel locomotive, HST 43102 The Journey Shrinker to Stephenson’s original Rocket and Locomotion No.1, which hauled the first train on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825.
The great thing about the Locomotion museum, apart from being disabled and family friendly, its free to gain entry, for both the Great Hall and the New Hall. There is a gift shop and café in the Great Hall, and an opportunity to ride a Stephenson's Rocket replica (£4 per person - Under 5's free).
They have events across the year, so be sure to check their website for events and up-to-date pricing and opening times.
