Is Grimsby the grimmest place?

[rogerthefish]

I've just done a tour of England and found the place with the most boarded up and charity shops, anyone know of some where else that takes the crown or indeed the bucket!

The modern part of Grimsby shopping area is actually pretty good, I go there regularly to visit the inlaws. The old town is a hell hole but is nothing compared to Hartlepool, had the misfortune to visit that place on business a few years back.......Now that is GRIM.

As I work there.. yep, its pretty grim. Famous for Karen Matthews and Mohammed Siddique Khan. Sometimes I have a walk up into the town when on my lunch break (Wednesday is the best as it is market day, ideally walking through the bus station on my way). So many people who seem to have given up on life there.

Hartlepool's historic dockyard and HMS Trincomalee is pretty good.

And yes, Grimsby is st. I went there once, by mistake.

Grimsby has some very nice places and some very nice houses.


If you want grim try Oldham,Bradford Rotherham, middlesbourough plenty of worse places than grimsby.



Oh once went to some ste estate on the outskirts of Bristol once. Thought it some kind of post appocoypse film set.

Bradford centre has the potential to be really attractive as there's plenty of nice Victorian buildings.There doesn't seem to be the will, nous or money to get it completed properly though.

How did you go there by mistake? It's at the end of a motorway and the sea is next

The end of a fking experimental surface motorway( bout time they finished that experiment its been going about 40 years) that rattles your car to pieces and gives you a fking headache its so loud.

Dudley is pretty st and probably gives Grimsby a run for the title.

Too right, and don't forget places with a 'hard shoulder' just about wide enough to park a haddock.
