The closest ive seen since is the chatsworth estate in channel 4's shameless

Is that the 'grimiest' or 'grimest'

The grimiest must have been Manchester in the 70's tho' it's pretty good now.

Grimest has to be Bolton.

I drove through Workington earlier this year. They had one Christmas Snowman decoration hanging up on one lampost. Looked like it had been up for months.
It was a street full of just bookies and takeaways. Very few people about, but most in track suits and pushing prams.
I would recommend you have a look at it before closing this thread. Its quite amazing.

Grimsby/Cleethorpes and Luton are the worst two.

Gillingham is an awful place too.

Oh and its not exactly grim, but Milton Keynes on both occasions has just been so so soulless, not sure if i've seen the whole center, but it was just weird.

Whitehaven just down the road is very similar.

Really
Thought it was quite a nice town, certainly nicer than walking down western road.

I was there Wednesday. Not as bad as Workington. Puzzling though because there's loads of new housing in Whitehaven. Why would you want to live there?

To be fair it was an over night stay on the way to Scotland but where we stayed it was an absolute car crash
