Working Class Towns

[Settle59]

Inspired by another thread - and being a Sociologist (after a fashion..) -
thought I'd start this thread.

OK here goes:
Luton
Slough
Blackburn
Corby

Hull.
Grimsby.
Cleethorps.
Selby.

I don't understand this, there are mixed socio demographic areas in every town, aren't there?

Gillingham
Chatham

Yes good point - sluj - I suppose what I mean is - towns that people tend to think of as predominantly working class e.g.

Merthyr Tydfil
Skelmersdale
Blyth, Northumberland

Strood
Hastings
Sittingbourne
St Helens
Ebbw Vale
Bridgwater

BASILDON
Stanford-No-Hope
All of Thurrock
Laindon
Brentwood
Jaywick
Southend
Dartford
Canning Town
Poplar

How about Northfleet?

Settle Definitely

Mountain Ash , Cwmbran, Merthyr Tydfil

Mansfield

I live in a town that is thought of locally as quite scuzzy. The east of the town is very deprived, the west is all middle class professionals loving the low house prices for solid period properties.

Stevenage
Ipswich
Wrexham

CountFosco - longshot - but do you live in Folkestone?

Folkestone
Dover
Ramsgate

Calverton, Notts
Rochdale
Stoke on Trent
Swadlincote
Caernarvon
Port Talbot

Traditionally towns with Labour constituencies were more typically 'working class' but even most of them have gone Tory now. The likes of Burnley, Workington and Grimsby etc.

Everywhere north of Norwich. Kent.

MadameMarie - Agreed - and any that at one point heavy industry - coal/steel/etc etc - and were dominated by said industry.

Newport, Gwent
Cumbernauld

@CleanIsBlissful spot on with Thurrock, or is it Furrock?!

Fleetwood

@CountFosco l thought you were in Southend / Westcliff?

Doncaster

Swindon

Parts of Kent - definitely yes. But many parts are extremely middle class. As is much of north Norfolk.
