The WORST Place to Live in the UK? | HUDDERSFIELD 

Welcome to Peterborough... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cB0v9umAeos.html

I am an expat. Moved to Huddersfield from the US. Would never go back and I love this place. It has its bad parts, but I don’t live far from castle hill and a lot of trails to walk.

Calls it deprived 🤣 come to dewsbury same council bear in mind. Top tip don't bring the bike will be nicked whilst you're still riding it

One of the things which lowers Huddersfields charm is unsociable behaviour , like riding a bike through pedestrian walkways !

I'm from Bristol and a go to huddesfield often to visit my brother. To be honest it's more multicultural and the tap water is so soft and cleaner to drink. I don't see anything wrong with the city. It's got a good university aswell. It's no way as bad as people say, not at all. I feel people like to divide the North and the south.

The countryside surrounding Huddersfield is fantastic miles of hills and open fields farmhouses, little villages etc. It is on edge of the Pennines

Maybe walk and look at some of the unique Georgian and Victorian architecture rather than travel at 20mph through pedestrian areas on a motorised push iron.

Doesn’t every town and city in the uk have a pound type shop ?

I lived in Huddersfield for 4 years as a student. Is a safe and quite place with friendly people but its a bit depressing the truth is .I remembered rat and parrot a big coffe shop opposite University.

15:00 Huddersfield has a strong Punjabi community, both muslim and Sikh. In Bradford its Kashmiri muslims mainly. There are several Mosques and Gurdwaras in Huddersfield. There is a war monument in Greenhead park to honour the contribution of the Punjab regiment in WW2. There is also a strong Irish community in Huddersfield as evident by several catholic schools/churches as well as St.Patrick themed social clubs etc.

I am born and bred in Huddersfield and love my hometown, by myself and most other people have seen a once-thriving busy town centre decimated for various reasons, one being online shopping, and another is Kirklees council that seem to want to stop it being a place people want to come and shop in decent shops. I live half a mile from the town centre and very rarely go into the centre because there are no shops for me. Get out of the town centre and we have some gorgeous places and many wealthy places too. My guess is it is just like many towns and some cities today. We sadly now have a town centre full of crappy pound shops, Turkish barbers, nail bars and takeaway places, and the council seem to love it along with their war on cars and an ability to easily park in the town centre. It is not a deprived place, 5 minutes from those residential streets you were cycling around is an area where most of the houses will be a million pounds plus each. There is a supercar showroom just off the camera where you drop past near the main church. You said Birkby was a nice-looking area, to be honest, that is considered a not-so-attractive place by locals.

I lived here in one year when I come learn in Huddersfield university in 2015-2016. Can't say it bad

Town centre is horrible but tbf you should've explored the countryside areas rather than BIRKBY

I was born and bred in Huddersfield . It's a very beautiful place when you consider the architecture and countryside. My problem was there was no work so I got on my bike.

Huddersfield is amazing. It’s the perfect mix of beautiful countryside, and the town. It has John Smith’s stadium and a great multicultural community with an interesting history It also has great education with Greenhead College being 2nd best in the UK iirc and a pretty good uni. It’s also a great location surrounded by Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield and Bradford Economy is a bit dead atm but they’re revamping the high street, so hopefully with the right funding it can be even better! Nobody really lives in the town centre, but if you look at Marsden or the Longwood reservoirs it’s such a beautiful place, I’d recommend revisiting and cycling there!

The outskirts have really nice areas in the country side , for instance holmfirth which is a small town in the district

I just spent the weekend up at Huddersfield and I really enjoyed it, was up visiting a friend and spent Saturday morning walking around the town. The higher street is nothing remarkable it’s pretty much a standard dying high street. But it had lovely buildings I will be going back in about 6 months to see my friend. The thing that surprised me was the amount of speed cameras I’ve never seen so many and I’m from down south!

In the late 80’s I was about 5 or 6 when I moved to Huddersfield from London. From a kids point of view anywhere is great. That’s how I remembered Huddersfield. My aunt and cousins lived next door to us and we’d play with the neighbours kids. Everyone knew everyone also. So your business was never private. Now I live in London. Huddersfield looks all run down now. I wouldn’t choose to go back there tbh

it genuinely looks quite nice. the bit at 3:25 looks very historic.

Live here so know the town well, enjoyed following your ride around though.. it was very lively and fun to shop in town until around 2004/8. Online shopping killed most the shops as happened in most the towns :( Further away from the town you go, the nicer it gets, some lovey places to ride your bike where I live.

Five minutes in and it could be summed up to 'old, disregarded and boring". Definitely deserves a revamp and governments should look into brighten up cities and get them more appealing, not only for tourism but also for the mental health of those living there every single day!

Yo, i was searching for a cycling route around the town centre and your video popped up. I actually work in town and fuel + parking is very costly for me...forget buses `I'm buying a Carrera Crossfire bike so i can save pennies, but i haven't ridden a bike for almost 30yrs. All in all: Huddersfield's borders, moorlands and countryside are historically stunning, I'm out walking with my camera every weekend... yes, the town centre is quite naff. Thanks for the vid, with a bit of practice and confidence building, I'll be flying around town to get to work, with some knowledge of 'where and where not to ride lol . Cheers ;-)

I live here and tbf, it’s not bad per se, just really boring. Leeds and Manchester are within half hour on the train though so not all bad

See it’s says worst place to live but nobody lives in the town centre do they? Go to Holmfirth and Marsden (HD9 & HD7) just some regions of Huddersfield where people actually live then make a judgment.

You’re looking in the wrong part of town

Thanks Jay. a ride down memory lane.

You should come to Cornwall,some amazing towns and villages to cycle through.

can you make a new video here 🙏?

You have done us dirty on this video, skipped the entire good part of the town centre (yes I agree about the bad parts). Residential wise you went to the most deprived area of the town, next time have a visit up to Marsden, Slaithwaite, Holmfirth and tell us what you think.

Huddersfield is better than Dubai

I wish a known you was coming to Huddersfield i would love to meet you watch all your blogs i live in Huddersfield and it is going through a massive face lift is the local council to blame if you visit again let me know and I will ride with you keep safe pal

isnt basically every city in the uk the worst to live in

Luton is the worst place to live in England!

Tbh u are in my area I'm literally 20 mins by walking from home to there lol and u are kinda disrespecting my home town so kinda got some hate from me so to be rude just don't disrespect cities until have been there properly so:⁠-⁠) ok and yh.

I think your just saying that because of google

Twice you went past the train station and Harold Wilson statue and didn't say anything!!

what is the average salary in the area?

you've got balls to say that about MY TOWN GRAAHHHHHHH

It's a shame you only saw the town centre and the lower half of Birkby. Edgerton, Marsh and Lyndley are only a short distance away and would have given you a much better impression of the town.

I live in Huddersfirleld , a very multi cultural Town , large black community, sikh community, Irish community, Pakistan comunity, polish community , one of the best Universities in the north. I would not live anywhere els.

I know that you wasn't looking at the people of Huddersfield but alot of things you said it down to miss management from the 70s onwards but I like to think it's a very diverse community

What bike is that?

Doesn’t look THAT bad …

Ahhh yes, Birkby one of the best places in Huddersfield 😂😂 He should have researched some of the nice places in Huddersfield to go to

Lived in Lockwood then moved to council estate in Dalton Left in 77 3 days after leaving school It was a shithole then and a bigger one now

It's done, very sadly and there is a very real reluctance for folks to tell the truth. As a town, it's not alone in change. The shock is the alacrity of the change. Treasure your memories.

make a new video here.

make another video here.

I guess you missed all the teens in balaclavas and the county lines boys.

Cycled right passed our Grade 1 listed railway station without even looking at it.

Damn shame my home town was fantastic back in my day .

I spotted myself 😌

Er i don't think huddersfield is the worst place in to be I've been to some proper shit holes down south especially 🤪

I live in Huddersfield, and I can agree that it is a dump. I got assaulted filming at the open market by the council staff.

I live in Huddersfield and I'm really used to it. You can get used to all the traffic and all that after a year

That's town near Primark. Theres more to Huddersfield if you are willing to explore more

We have beautiful countryside here when you leave the town centre.

Huddersfield had more millionaires mantions that most towns because of the woolen industry, Huddersfield being the hub of the woolwn textile trade back in the day.

No, it's not. Next.

How can it be number 2. I love huddersfield

The worst thing about Huddersfield is arseholes cycling up and down the pedestrain streets, way too fast, and acting like they own the place.

These RU-vidrs come straight to hudds and act like the town centre is just hudds lol. The town centre isnt great but hudds is much more. Some beautiful places in hudds.

Man said life’s not popping

Any one from Skelmanthorpe

Go to skelmanthorpe Or maybe dalton 🤣🤣👍👍

Downtown Huddersfield has always been very depressing for me, I was born there and left at 18. Moved South and then the U.S. There are beautiful areas around Huddersfield and not too far either. You can can drop down to Birkby, Lindley, Golcar, Slaithwaite etc. All have amazing Yorkshire stone buildings, good pubs and local stores. I wouldn't ever want to move back but it has a lot of great architecture if you care to look above the 'bike' level. The train station, the Old George Hotel, Town Hall etc etc. I just hate the fact that even in the most picturesque villages in the UK they allow these shitty Neon signed shops. As somebody said, Kirklees couldn't give a damn. Ah well, it was still good to see how the place looks now. It hasn't changed much.

"Oh yeahhh, I love going down narrow streets like that" :D:D:D Me toooo! :D

Go dalton or almondburry

Do you think Bradford is better than Huddersfield mate? Great video!

I’m from Huddersfield I hate it

Everywhere is crap.

looks a bit like bristol

best football team though much better than Leeds' one

My Town

11.08 ... Dare you to ride through here at night

Ive been living in Hudds for exactly 11 years this week. I absolutely love the place n hope to spend the rest of my days here. Just like my home, Coventry, it is populated by a wide range of nationalities which i love. The town centre has changed a wee bit since i first got here n there's quite a few stores closed down. 11 years here n i still haven't met anyone I didn't like. Lovely down to earth people. The part I live in is gorgeous n not far from open countryside.

Run buy a labour council what do you expect

Why don’t you make another video here.

I lived in Huddersfield till I was 16. I can agree with that comment

Yeah it’s crap 😂

It is a dog-hole, end of... thanks to the non natives

0:44 lol some Russian words i hear xD

Legit just got anxiety watching this Huddersfield was a horrible place to grow up. A couple weeks ago a boy get dicappitated

you cycle down the street like you're the mayor or something.

Looks alright to me

Typical English town. Not typical English population.
