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.

Chatteris Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cambridgeshire, and around 20 miles north of Cambridge, is the town of Chatteris.
For much of its early history prior to the draining of the fens that began in the 17th century, Chatteris was a raised island surrounded by marshy wetland. Its first known resident is said to have been Huna the Hermit, who left the Isle of Ely in circa 679 AD and settled in the area known as Honey Hill, located in the vicinity of the town centre of today. Here he sought out a solitary life of prayer.
In 980 AD Chatteris Abbey was founded as a monastery for Benedictine nuns, and a settlement began to develop around it. The first record of the Church of St Peter & St Paul dates from 1162. However, the original church was destroyed by a fire, and was rebuilt in 1352. Its tower is a surviving element of this 14th century rebuilding. It is claimed that on a clear day, from the tower you can see the two cathedrals of Cambridgeshire, i.e. Peterborough and Ely, being as they are roughly equidistant from Chatteris.
In 1848 a railway station opened in Chatteris. This formed part of a line between St Ives and March. The station was closed in 1967 as part of the Beeching cuts, where over 2,000 stations in Britain were closed in order to promote road travel. Today, public transport to Chatteris consists of direct buses from Ely, Huntingdon, Ramsey, March and various other nearby settlements, although services are typically infrequent.

Places to see in ( March - UK )
Places to see in ( March - UK )
March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England. It was the county town of the Isle of Ely which was a separate administrative county from 1889 to 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council. The town grew by becoming an important railway centre.
Like many Fenland towns, March was once an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the second largest island in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town grew and prospered as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre. March is situated on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today mainly used by pleasure boats.
Modern March lies on the course of the Fen Causeway, a Roman road, and there is evidence of Roman settlements in the area. Before the draining of the fens, March was effectively an island in the marshy fens. It was formed from two settlements, Merche and Mercheford, separated by a canal. At one time shipping on the River Nene provided the basis of the town's trade, but this declined with the coming of the railways in the 19th century.
A single arch bridge was built over the River Nene towards the north end of the town in 1850. High Street, which is the chief thoroughfare, is continued over the bridge to Broad Street on the north side of the Nene, and The Causeway is lined with a fine avenue of elm and other trees.
With a long history of trading, in the reign of Elizabeth I, March was a minor port. In 1566 eight boats, capable of carrying one, one and a half, or two cartloads, were used in the coal and grain trades. A certain amount of traffic in coal and other commodities, carried in barges, was observed by Dugdale in 1657. Local tradesmen's tokens of 1669, and a silver shilling token of 1811, have been noted.
Originally a market appears to have been held near the original town (then village) centre, on land beside The Causeway. A Market Cross (now called The Stone Cross) points towards the existence of an early market and this cross was erected in the early 16th century. This site was very near St Wendreda's Church.
In 1669 the town successfully petitioned King Charles II and in 1670 he granted the Lord of the Manor of Doddington a Royal Charter with the right to hold a market with two annual fairs, in spite of the opposition of Wisbech Corporation. This market was held on Fridays. The Lord of the Manor of Doddington, who owned a large part of March, gave special permission to the townspeople to sell their goods on some of his land in the town centre. This site, now called the Market Place, was then known as Bridge Green Common and later named Market Hill.
March has its own museum, located down the High Street. It is in the building that was originally the South District Girls school, constructed in the 1850s, it went from school to school, until 1976 when the building was purchased by the Town Council. The Museum was opened in 1977. The town was an important railway centre, with a major junction between the Great Eastern Railway and Great Northern Railway at March railway station. The station is 88 mi (142 km) from London by rail, 29 mi (47 km) north of Cambridge, 14 mi (23 km) north west of Ely and 9 mi (14 km) south of Wisbech.
Whitemoor marshalling yards, built in the 1920s and 30s, were once the second largest in Europe, and the largest in Britain. They were gradually phased out during the 1960s and shut down in 1990. Whitemoor prison was built on part of the site. The natural regeneration of the remaining 44 hectares resulted in its classification as a potential country park. In addition, a new housing development was constructed adjacent to the site. However, in 2002, Network Rail identified a need for a supply depot and redeveloped part of the site.
The March March march is a 30-mile walk from March to Cambridge, which has been walked in the month of March by students and academics from the University of Cambridge since 1979. The marchers sing the March March March March.

Ramsey, Cambridgeshire Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cambridgeshire, and around 12 miles southeast of Peterborough, is the town of Ramsey (not to be confused with Ramsey in the Isle of Man).
In 969 AD Ramsey Abbey was founded by Bishop Oswald of Worcester and Æthelwine, Ealdorman of East Anglia. This Benedictine Abbey was once one of the wealthiest in the country, in spite of its location on what would have been essentially an island surrounded by the marshy fens. Access to and from the abbey was only possible by boat up until the mid 12th century, at which point a causeway had been built.
In 1001 AD a corpse was found in the settlement of Slepe around 10 miles south of Ramsey. The monks claimed this to be the body of St Ivo, a Persian bishop who had come to the British Isles to convert the locals to Christianity. The body was brought to Ramsey Abbey, and the site upon which it was discovered was renamed from Slepe to St Ives. The monks helped to develop this into a thriving neighbouring town. By the early 12th century they had arranged the construction of a wooden bridge across the River Great Ouse, and secured charters for markets and fairs. In the year 1200, Ramsey was granted a market charter of its own.
During the 1530s, Ramsey Abbey was demolished as part of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The accompanying Church of St Thomas à Becket, from the 12th century, survived as it changed its denomination to Church of England. Aside from that, only the abbey gatehouse remains. The land around it was sold to Richard Williams, who also went by the name Richard Cromwell - Oliver Cromwell's great grandfather. Oliver Cromwell was born in the neighbouring town of Huntingdon in 1599, and by 1627 he owned a small manor house in the area where the abbey once stood.
In 1863 the first of two former railway stations opened in Ramsey, followed by a second in 1889. The first became known as Ramsey North and was the terminus of a branch line from Holme on the East Coast main line (Holme station was located just south of Peterborough, up until its closure in 1959). The second became known as Ramsey East and was also a terminus station, in this case linking to Warboys which was part of the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway. Ramsey East closed to passengers in 1930, along with Warboys, and Ramsey North closed to passengers in 1947. Today, public transport to the town consists of direct buses from Peterborough, Huntingdon, Whittlesey, Chatteris and various nearby settlements, although services are infrequent.
Historically, Ramsey was part of the county of Huntingdonshire. However, in 1974 this county was effectively swallowed up by Cambridgeshire. Huntingdonshire, or Hunts for short, still refers to the non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire centred around Huntingdon where the district council is based.
Also, if you've ever wondered what leftover Christmas decorations and daffodils look like side-by-side, come to Ramsey in the month of March!

Windmills of Cambridgeshire: Bourn Windmill
This video documents the windmill at Bourn in Cambridgeshire during the Open Mills Weekend 2014. Me and my sister have had a lifelong interest in tall and interesting buildings such as windmills, and aim to go round many of the windmills in the region and other counties in England, so more videos will come in future months.
Bourn Mill was built in 1636 and is thought to be one of the oldest windmills in the country. It sits on an open trestle post which is atop bricks. In this video you can see the entire inside and outside of the mill, and the windmill being pushed round by hand from the inside and out.

Covent Garden is a district in London, on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St Martin's Lane and Drury Lane.[1] It is associated with the former fruit-and-vegetable market in the central square, now a popular shopping and tourist site, and with the Royal Opera House, itself known as Covent Garden.[2] The district is divided by the main thoroughfare of Long Acre, north of which is given over to independent shops centred on Neal's Yard and Seven Dials, while the south contains the central square with its street performers and most of the historical buildings, theatres and entertainment facilities, including the London Transport Museum and the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
The area was fields until briefly settled in the 7th century when it became the heart of the Anglo-Saxon trading town of Lundenwic, then abandoned at the end of the 9th century after which it returned to fields.[3] By 1200 part of it had been walled off by the Abbot of Westminster Abbey for use as arable land and orchards, later referred to as the garden of the Abbey and Convent, and later the Convent Garden. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries it was granted in 1552 by the young King Edward VI to John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford (c.1485–1555), the trusted adviser to his father King Henry VIII. The 4th Earl commissioned Inigo Jones to build some fine houses to attract wealthy tenants. Jones designed the Italianate arcaded square along with the church of St Paul's. The design of the square was new to London and had a significant influence on modern town planning, acting as the prototype for new estates as London grew.[4]
By 1654 a small open-air fruit-and-vegetable market had developed on the south side of the fashionable square. Gradually, both the market and the surrounding area fell into disrepute, as taverns, theatres, coffee-houses and brothels opened up.[5] By the 18th century it had become notorious for its abundance of brothels. An Act of Parliament was drawn up to control the area, and Charles Fowler's neo-classical building was erected in 1830 to cover and help organise the market. The market grew and further buildings were added: the Floral Hall, Charter Market, and in 1904 the Jubilee Market. By the end of the 1960s traffic congestion was causing problems, and in 1974 the market relocated to the New Covent Garden Market about three miles (5 km) south-west at Nine Elms. The central building re-opened as a shopping centre in 1980 and is now a tourist location containing cafes, pubs, small shops, and a craft market called the Apple Market, along with another market held in the Jubilee Hall.
Covent Garden falls within the London boroughs of Westminster and Camden and the parliamentary constituencies of Cities of London and Westminster and Holborn and St Pancras. The area has been served by the Piccadilly line at Covent Garden tube station since 1907; the 300 yard journey from Leicester Square tube station is the shortest in London.
