- Peterborough has been voted amongst the Worst Places to live in the UK for many years now, this ancient cathedral city holds some of the highest crime statistics for any UK city. As we explored the city and residential areas of Peterborough including the notorious 'NO-GO' Zone and 'Red Light' area of Peterborough - Lincoln road, by day and night. I was Shocked to see so many abandoned places, Homelessness, Crime and Poverty on the streets of this UK City. #britain #uk #poverty #crime #england #reallife #Peterborough #nogozone #onthestreet #depression #homeless #abandonedplaces
Peterborough has been rocked by negative headlines for years, I headed to Peterborough to find out for myself whether the bleak reputation portrayed by the media was warranted... What I found truly shocked me, the crime rates where some of the highest in the UK. One area of Peterborough that I visited (Millfield Area) had 524 street level crimes (reported) last month! 206 of those were violent crimes...This notorious area of the UK is often labelled a NO-GO Zone by locals and journalists alike. I headed to this notorious crime ridden, red light district at night to gain a full understanding of how the people of Peterborough feel living in the Worst Place to live in the UK.
A quick google search of the Millfield area & Lincoln road in Peterborough will overwhelm you with negative headlines! The amount of crime, poverty and deprivation to be found in this small corner of the City is shocking. Peterborough City Centre is filled with beautiful medieval buildings however once you enter the outer areas of Peterborough the feeling quickly changes.

I used to live there for a couple of years. It’s bad. The street you were walking - groups of 6 (man/kids) just randomly stand outside the off license shops like hookers in Dam. No one respects the street signs and everybody just acts like in a zoo. Istanbul grill is the bomb though so you kinda get used to it. Never had a problem and I was always on my own.
Yes the groups of blokes outside every other takeaway! Big groups too! Mental place. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 I think people think it's dramatised but they have no idea!
@@JoefishJ I was raised there, it is a shithole I moved out 2010 and never looked back
Absolutely right
People make places.Wrong people and the place turns to shit.Thats what ive found.
Happens everywhere unfortunately. Thanks for watching and the comment
When the wrong people pour into a country the country turns to shit. Not just Peterborough
Some of us know what the real problem is and we can see this problem in the video.
@@Tony11806 Indeed tony.But i cant say the truth as i keep getting shadow banned.Which also is a joke,when its the bloody truth!.
@@Tony11806so u must know what the real problem is in hordon, western supermare, Sunderland and Rhyl too then aswell ?
I grew up in Peterborough before the immigration influx. Millfield and the Lincoln Rd area was always home to the Asian community which wasn’t that bad, until the Council / Housing associations decided to house Eastern Europeans there too. This is where the troubles come from.
I have escaped PTown now but every time I go back it seems to have declined somewhat!
The nightclubs have been either shut down or burned down ( insurance job ) where I live. The local paper recently said, that s particular nightclub was shutting due to lack of students coming to the area, and yet there are more buildings going up for “ more students “ apparently….but we all know the real reason this country is building more houses like crazy
Thanks for watching and the comment. Common sight across the country. Thanks for watching and the comment

I can remember when Peterborough was a nice place but years of mass immigration and the foreign invasion and failed multicultural project shows the country how disastrous uncontrolled immigration is
Shuddup ya daft racist..
Riiiight..immigration has made Peterborough a lot worse… even though its 90% white..and overwhelmingly british..
@@shotlikka words ov reason spoken by a good person...awesome mate..
Came here to see the bigotry, was not disappointed.
*Blames a 90% white city's desolation on 10% immigrants
Huge elephant in the room here called immigration.
There is nothing wasist about the truth . Duh
No. It's not immigration. It's your government. Do you people ever take accountability for your doings or do you just like to blindly blame immigrants for everything? It's ridiculous. Just because you don't like certain people colour doesn't mean they're responsible for the mess YOU created. Imagine being an 85% majority in your own country and then blame the 15% for the mess the country is in. Absolute delusion.
Well said.
@bernardfitzsimons6942yep 👍
It's not just immigration it's immigration from certain places. Peterborough was always multicultural since the 40s/50s and was always a quiet place with a manageable population, but the last ten years or so have seen huge numbers coming in and it has changed the city beyond recognition.
As a Teen who lived in Peterborough all his life, Peterborough is sadly deteriorating before my eyes. Homelessness, deprivation, racial prejudice , drugs, Crime, Gang violence, Inequality and poverty are all problems of this city. It is always depressing, intimidating and i always feel unsafe walking to school or on Lincon road. Its hard for people to live comfortably in this city and the gap between the rich and poor, those who can access better education or jobs is clear in this city. Peterborough is not the place I once remembered it as since my early years of my life but I will always regardless love my city for the friends i made. I wish the best for Peterborough in the future.
Hey mate thanks for sharing your local insight. Sadly one I heard a number of times in Peterborough. Thanks for watching and the comment, hope you enjoy the future content.
Communist
It’s almost the same everywhere now
What do you think has caused it? I get that most places are like that now and perhaps a lot of it is down to Covid, Ukraine, Brexit... but what's made such a beautiful place deteriorate so much, because as far as I can see, it's far worse than most other places?
@@davie12 “Covid, Ukraine, Brexit”…wow…the brainwashing here is incredible.
I go to Peterborough every now and then, usually as a busker, or for other music events or to catch a train to somewhere north. I’ve worked in the city centre late at night, attended events and workshops at Millfield Community Centre and walked from one end of the huge, dark station car park where it always sounds like there’s a nightingale singing after getting off a train late at night. Like every city it has its share of problems, but I’ve never felt threatened there any more than anywhere else.
Peterboro Cathedral is a must see building, fantastic
...
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Nice to meet you Joe, great video & look forward to seeing you & Ben in the future 🤝😎
Likewise mate absolute pleasure. See you soon! 👊🙏
My 17 year old nephew got jumped by 3 guys(non-Peterborough) early evening. Stiches in back of head and concussion!
So sad how it has gone, Cathedral is amazing.
Another great vid, subs still climbing. Well Done!
I hope you`re going to track them down......revenge is sweet my friend.
Wow sorry to hear that! It certainly felt that way. Thanks for watching and the comment
Only 17, doing alrigtht now. Think his mum was more upset!@@JoefishJ
It is not the all Peterborough people that made it a bad place , It is a mix of Drug addicts /dealers and people from overseas . It was a wonderful place to live and I should know.
We did a long term job in Peterborough 2022-2023 - always liked the place and never had a problem. Like everywhere, it has some downsides, but also plenty of positives. Great architecture and history, beautiful Lido in City Centre for summer swimming. Good restaurants etc. This video is looking for the problems from the start.
I agree the cathedral square area is stunning however the estates surrounding Peterborough are sketchy for sure. All the locals in the comments agree, I guess if your working in the centre and staying near by it's ok? Thanks for watching and the comment
Not only that, but I am getting alpha male vibes. Plus, I imagine you went out with your big burly mates. Scary for the rest of us, but wow, for Mr butch here, "what's the problem"? It's meatheads like this that give meatheads a bad name. So we open ourselves up to the possibility of getting stabbed just so that we don't disappoint Mr Alpha. Narcissist much? In case there is any confusion I would being sheeeeeting my pants in that situation. I grew up on a council estate back in the 70s and 80s, I knew how to handle myself. The degenerates of my day (me included) are not the same as those of today. The bible talks about the wicked going from bad to worse. As I have witnessed three further generations I have witnessed this to be true.@@JoefishJ
All... 😂.. false comments and I don't know how you got your stats.. ridiculous pair of foolish vloggers .. scared 😂
Try visited a lot of the estates. Terrible.

Not all of it. Still plenty of nice places.
When I was little in the 1980’s we would go on the train to Peterborough for a day out. It was great then! Queens gate shopping centre had just opened and was filled with great shops. It had something brand new to the area a Mc Donald’s! Hard to believe now but that was the only one for miles around. Or sometimes we would have tea at the reflections cafe on the top floor. Always felt safe and had were happy times. Now wouldn’t even go back to visit. Prefer to remember it as it was. Enjoyed your video though.
Got my first pair of Red Doc's from there the day queens Gate opened, was our first holiday from Cumbria to see my Uncle who had just left the army and moved there from Germany, used to love the toy shop that had all the Star Wars and Action Man stuff in there also the HMV store in the square
Ive noticed where i live that you get stared at when out and about, Its like we should not be in our own town

In Birmingham I forget the long road it’s a total no go zone to whites after 6pm . The guy who told me as I was working in Chesterfield told me this as he was obviously from Birmingham, he was in his late 50s getting said he will never go back and he said it was enforced by Muslim gangs ! I myself had this in Firvale in Sheffield whilst working there in the day ! The country has gone . I imagine lots in London , Manchester the list goes on . government past and present well done hope your happy
The fact that Muslims have the power to control the British in their own country
You should have gone to the Welland (Wellhard) estate. That place was always rough, even in the good times. God knows what its like now.
Haha yes I heard bad things! Thanks for watching and the comment
Welland isn't bad now. Orton Goldhay, Orton Malbourne, Millfield, Eastgate, New England, Bretton, Westwood are bad.
@@002lisamarie Orton Goldhay was a dump 20 mins after it was built! 😂😂😂
@@clark4219 True, but I think Orton Malbourne is worse.
@@002lisamarieLet me guess Mawzlims ruined those areas?
I used to live there,,its not as bad as people say,,although theres a massive drug and homeless problem,but thats just any city nowadays
Lincoln road at night was super sketchy!!
Defo mate,i used to live 5 minutes away from lincoln rd? Some of the stuff i saw was mental mate
Where immigration is drugs are
No town should be seen as the norm, what has happened to this country, no law and order
No money being spent on towns, everything just left to go to rot.
Thanks for another great video mate!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
I lived in Peterborough for 45 years .Used to be a great place growing up with so many good memories. Was 10 pubs down Lincoln road used to be a great pub crawl into town back in the day think there is only the crown left there now ? I visit Peterborough 4 times a year to see my mum and mates who still live there BUT notice a change everytime i go there not for the better. Went to see a mate last time got a taxi to his told the drive lincoln road please he pulled up around the corner said to dangerous to let you out there :O what has the city become that i grew up and loved as a boy .
@johngoddard4459 Ah... The infamous “Crown to town” was attempted by many, achieved by few back in the day!!! (And anybody that made it to town was usually too wasted to get into any of the great clubs anyway 😂). I grew up in the area but moved away in my mid 20’s, 25 years ago. Peterborough was great back then. Fantastic shopping, buzzing nightlife, not to mention the Lido in the summer holidays!!! Crime was low, and we’d feel perfectly safe walking round the city centre as teenagers. I too go to visit family occasionally, and it’s so sad to see what Peterborough has become. Everybody local knows the reason for its demise, but I’ll let other people make there own conclusions. 😢
Serious question. Do you come from a small village? I live in Peterborough. It’s not utopia but where is for a city of its size. I’ve had nights out in Millfield. Tapas bars, cafes. Restaurants. Pretty sure I could take you to many worse places.
I know, as someone who regularly frequents some of the rougher parts of Liverpool and Manchester, I didn't think it looks that bad, I thought it was satire at first, just walking around with a victim mentality...
PETERBOROUGH IS HORRIFIC
PETERBOROUGH IS FAR WORSE THAN ANYWERE IN MANCHESTER OR LIVERPOOL
I’ve also had nights out on Lincoln road in the little tapas bars, end up talking to locals and always a fun night. Still regularly cycle down there at all times of day and night, lived in the area for 30 years, it doesn’t look pretty but it’s no more dangerous than anywhere else
I hope the grave of Catherine of Aragon at the Cathedral does not ever get vandalised…

Go to Peterborough quite often, my family lives slightly outer peterborough in a village...I enjoy going to the city as you say its quite deceiving, always visit the cathedral grounds as its a nice visit in the summer. But I do hear alot of stories from family about how much it has degraded over the years...I've heard criminals from London are relocated here now but not sure how much truth there is to it...but that may be reason
Thanks for the comment, yes definitely on the surface a beautiful city. However like most places the underbelly doesn't always match.
Just laughable to think Peterborough is the worst place to live . No comparison to the deprivation of many towns and cities .
That so called no go area would be considered middle class in the real deprived places.
Have to agree with this comment, up north there many areas with worse areas, parts of Liverpool, Burnley, etc come to mind. This video started off ok. But then got a bit silly, you walked through a council estate in the daytime, whats the problem?? Where there gains of yobs chasing you away? No did not see anyone. No different to any other estate. Then the road in the day, it has a subway on it and a co-op funeral directors! If the people working at these places, felt, 'so unsafe', they would not even be there. This road is 10 a penny in 50% of London. Spotter looking at you, I did not see him. Try pointing the camera forward as opposed to looking at your face. Else one would presume your exaggerating to point to making stuff up innit brov!
Agreed. I'm from Peterborough and now live in the Finsbury Park area of London. That New England part of Peterborough would be a completely normal part of London. People just panic when they don't see white people 😅

I moved to Peterborough in the 70s i grew up by the 80s I would go into town when there was only like 3 nightclubs, By the early 90s it was booming loads of shops clubs pubs it was pretty safe to walk around at night etc then we got loads of new people turned up from all over the world in like 2003 some are ok but the others oh well. Now Lincoln road is a no go zone, and the city center oh my god its derelict nothing like it was at all full of homeless and junkies and strange dodgy shoplifters and pick pockets from all over the world. I never go to town center unless I really really have too. All the surrounding areas are getting worse as well, starting to resemble lincoln road area. What can you say the cathedral is nice shame about the rest lol... would love to get away to country

This country is in serious need of rehabilitation, I hope this situation replicated in so many places , doesn't usher in a further neglect, polarization and hoplessness. Noone is an island. Many people who live in deprived areas are good people doing the best they can. And drug habits are not confined to the poorest in society . Its hidden from view. So time to work together I think and push for positive change, the alternative is bleak. Thanks Joe👍

I was gonna move to Peterborough a few years ago......boy did I dodge a bullet.
You sure did.
I bet its the same in whole europe, im from sweden and our town Oskarshamn were booming from the middle of 1800s to 1990s but then everything got abandoned, the only thing that is working here now is the Scania factory and SAFT battery factory, then just some stores, half the town is abandoned and depressing, me and my gf are moving to a village nearby because its too boring and depressing here, i dont want my kids to grow up in this shithole, its very important to have beautiful surroundings with nature, the industrial abandoned shit makes you so unhappy. And criminality is rising too, a disabled guy got robbed and brutaly murdered outside my work, i came to work just hours after he got murdered and i still can see that pool of blood in my mind, we have had many more murders around here, my neighbor got robbed 3 months ago and much more shit, The far right is rising in scandinavia too, i dont blame the people but our government havent done anything for years.

Normally Cathedral Cities are among the nicest in England. It’s no coincidence that the trashing of the city from the 60’s on coincided with the downward spiral. Town planners /architects in post war England and including our era , were /are a total failure, their lauded “brave new world” turned into a “Clockwork Orange” type dystopia.
Yes it's the London/Scottish overspill that started the decline and the Asian, African and Eastern European immigration that ruined it.
It's such a shame that Britain has such awful and desolate places....
It's been brought on in 10 years by bad governance and uncontrolled immigration
Mainly due to uncontrolled immigration.
We all know the reasons

I grew up near Millfield. Peterborough was my Dads home town and he was saddened by its decline having been born there and died there end of last year. I got away in the 70's to Bristol then Devon and finally ending up near Lands End. Maybe I wanted to distance myself from it? 😉

I used to live down Lincoln road until a couple of years ago I never had any problems then, I used to walk out at night and go to the shops all the time, down towards town is definitely more dodgy though , we came back for a weekend recently and went to a pub in town, it was a total state and we didn’t feel entirely safe when we were out ,
Shocking scenes there now! Thanks for watching and the comment
Ram Raiding actually originated in Newcastle Upon Tyne (or at least in the North East area) It's like the lads, shoplifting Holiday originated in Liverpool, Ram Raiding originated on the North East Coast.
Why is this happening? it is so frustrating to see, every town near to me the councils are demolishing the shopping centres that are popular, businesses are closing yet they was queing out of the doors less than a year ago
It's not that bad, yes there is a homeless and drug problem but what urban centre doesn't? I used to work in Millfield, regularly walked around there late at night/early hours of the morning, as I have done all over Peterborough, good areas and bad, never once had a problem, not there or anywhere. I still frequent Lincoln Road as some of my favourite takeaways are there.
Side note, Millfield isn't an estate, it's an old neighbourhood that's had a massive influx of generations of immigrants over the years coming in and out of the area, people don't stay long, and landlords don't care about maintaining their properties, they just cram as many into HMO's as they can, so the area isn't cared about or maintained like a normal community.
The trouble is now after decades getting worse and worse.Younger people think it's the norm now.
I live in millfield and my family and many others have been here for decades!
You know what hun, most of those shops and takeaways are foreign. It actually shows the majority of people who live there.
Your reasoning is impeccable man.
Send them back

Lived in Peterborough 18 years, it has gotten worse and worse over the years quite sad really, don't really feel safe in the city anymore, the sounds of sirens are common, I've been involved personally in a couple of different occasions I was assaulted within the city for no reason
Hey joe you interviewed me and a friend near catherderal are you posting that segment?
Hey, yes will be posting it in another video next week sometime. Thanks for the time you gave 🙏
@@JoefishJ amazing no worries! What day next week so I can look out for it!
Sad to see. I grew up in south London, and moved to town just outside Peterborough to essentially escape the path I was going down.
Now it looks like where I left, Croydon 🙁
I hear my old home Spalding is doing bad
Sad times! Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the content
North London, and it is the same… it was not great when I was growing up but it gone down hill like a lemming of a cliff.
I work in Spalding, it's absolutely fine!
@@housinauthority5258 I'm aware of people being set on fire at the tulip festival. That is not "fine"
You can not compare Croydon to Peterborough no way I lived in Kennington and when I tell you Peterborough is nothing like South London at all😂
I was in Peterborough a few days before, I thought it wasn't actually that bad!
Once you leave city centre it changes!
@@JoefishJ I was staying in the travel lodge across from the abandoned nightclubs, If I knew you guys were going to be around would have stayed about !
Do Spalding Lincolnshire next!
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching and the comment
When I went to Peterborough a few years ago now, it was really nice. I’m so shocked it’s this bad.
Turd Island looks more and more like the US now, but even more depressing with vandalised environments and shit weather.
Stay extra safe on your travels ❤
Thanks 🙏
@@JoefishJ ❤️
Come to Doncaster twinned with beruit
Doncaster is going the same way ? All our cities are going down the toilet. Multiculturalism has destroyed Britain.
It looks nice on videos.
Joe Fish new to your channel. Very interesting. I only go to Peterborough for the annual Beer 🍺 festival. I don't know were some people are saying that Peterborough is 90% White or English. I struggled to find anybody who could speak English! Locals have always warned me about Lincoln road. Unfortunately this is going on in all are major towns and cities. We are seeing the joys of Multiculturalism! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
Me and my friends often start a night out down the coffee shops. People always been friendly to us and never had any problems.
I’m in London for a week and was hoping to see the Cathedral there. As a woman traveling solo, I’ve decided to pass. Sad..
A real shame! Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you get to visit a nice Cathedral somewhere.
I’ll give you a free tour of my city Peterborough, let me know if this is of interest
Joe as you and ben would know , most of the places that have a bad rep have bloody good people in them , it’s the fact most people and families in the uk don’t have a pot to piss in, social and economic issues aware bringing these places down so only ones ti blame are government both national and local . The money local council get gets spunked up the wall on needless projects and they forget about the public living in them , as I’ve said before I’m from the Muff also but I also lived in Corby not too far from Peterborough, little steel town where they moved Scottish down for the steelworks , then closed it all leaving a town with little work and lots of working men’s clubs 😮 I think Corby has improved due to its central location making it a great hub for businesses but social issue there remain like when I lived there, all the best Adz
Agreed 💯 mate! Bloody sad times for the people. Thanks for watching and the support. Really appreciate it 👊
People in the 50s and 60s didn't have a pot to piss in but every town and city was safe to walk round.That's no excuse.
Modern city planning and architecture is a massive failure all over the West. But nowhere is it so bad as in the UK. You'd sometimes think someone sat down (especially in the 60's and 70's) and said "Let's build something truly ugly and inhumane!" As a Swede, I'm flabbergasted at the beauty of what is traditional English planning and architecture, and equally flabbergasted at the brutal ugliness inflicted on beautiful old towns and cities.
That endless road is the perfect example of shit planning. No matter how new and nice the actual buildings are, who wants to BE in a place like that? No one! And then it goes quickly down hill.
Peterborough council is bankrupt. What is going to happen when governments cannot chuck money at places like this.
I used to work around there in the mid 1980's and it was deserted really, i still go around there for work purposes and its a different world now not British in anyway. Its the main area for immigrants so to see a white guy let alone 3 together is going to be very unusual so that would be why people are suspicious. I personally have never had any trouble and i don't feel in any danger when i'm around the area maybe i'm just naive? I have to say that during the so called pandemic and lockdowns Millfield never changed and that was the good part of it, whilst the rest of the city was in lockdown and in a state of paranoia, Millifeld was just normal, people out eating and drinking and nobody cared whch i liked. The rest of the city is more and more becoming like Millfield, a mix of mass immigration and "white flight" is turning the whole city into Millifeld and tbh as a white Brit i'm starting to feel like just another ethnic minority which is a strange feeling to say the least, i'm not patriotic at all i'm all for free movement around the world but the impact immigration is having here leaves you feeling no sense of belonging here, no sense of identity and an everyone for themselves kinda attitude. You get the feeling everyone is afraid of each other because there is so many different cultures and languages on the go. Peterborough in general is fast becoming non English speaking and sometimes it feels like the government and the council have decided this area is where they are to dump all the undesirables and asylum seekers etc... Every pub, every empty office block,bingo hall or house is being converted into flats for the latest wave of immigrants from Africa, Africans are everywhere at the moment... nothing wrong with Africans but its like there is nobody in charge of the numbers arriving. I have decided I will be taking my family away from here at some point in the near future because it just doesn't feel like a place with any future, it just feels like a ticking time bomb and i dont want to be here when it goes off. This is just my opinion thats all so any haters please respect my opinion as i do yours. And i'm not racist, my best mate is a rumanian gypsy ive known him and his family for years now and will be going to stay in rumania with him and his family next year, i also have a good mate from Africa who i could also go to stay with in Africa... immigration does open new doors eh and who knows maybe i'll become an immigrant myself soon.
Been watching since first video with Backpacker Ben , keep it up mate Videos are mint
Legend! Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoy the upcoming adventures
Used to love going to Peterborough during the 1980s, Me uncle lived on Lincoln road across from the Peter Brotherhood chimney in Walton, used to love riding into the city centre with my cousin on our BMX bikes, used to go to a larl bakery for tasty cream cakes and bottles of Corona Limeade that was down the road from my uncles house, think it's a Polish food shop now, we used to walk into town on an evening my 2 cousins my mother and myself with no problem what so ever, It breaks my heart to this once great place turned into the shit hole it has become due to Diversity and uncontrolled immigration.
That part.of Peterborough is the roughest neighbourhood in Cambridgeshire for sure!
It bloody felt like it! Thanks for watching and the comment
reminds me of slough: home sweet home
AHH home sweet home! Thanks for watching and the comment. Hope you enjoy the content 🙏
You should visit Erdington high street in Birmingham
Just done Handsworth and Soho road last week! Shocker. Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the
The only thing that has put Peterborough on the map is Joanna denhenhy!.
I remember that story!!
Not as bad as Ilford… You genuinely may not be able to go there… You’d more than likely have active contact,
Active contact 😂 military speak? Thanks for watching and the comment.
Just moved from Peterborough to Devon about 5 months ago and 20 years ago I would have missed it and the night life was amazing but hate it now and lived there all my life, don't miss it and it's just absolutely rubbish there.. Ruined :( ..
Well at least your in a good spot now. Thanks for watching and the comment hope you enjoy the content
Have they found the barclays smasher?
The local radio station is heroine fm,seriously
Hereward?
@@markcoleman900 no heroine with an e
12:20 that underpass was where a teenager was murdered
Not surprised! Sad to hear. Thanks for watching
Joefish Can you take us to the Cardiff. show us what it looks like nowadays.
Definitely, soon! Thanks for watching and the comment
ha! iv been to Peterborough a few times and i had no idea it was this bad
It's the outskirts, but there minutes walking distance from the city. Very shocking. Thanks for watching and the comment
It isn't. And I've lived here all my sixty years.
Even back in the early 70s I used to call Leicester (domino city) white spots on a black background, now it's all our cities.
Its like oakland and Detroit got imported all over the UK
yeah its a bit rough defiantly worse at night.
Unfortunately millfield alot of cons than pros but you will not find an empty shop on that strip.
The locals have tried working with the police to tackle crime Unfortunately its always empty words.
Most group of men i agree not a great sight as a local you know all they are doing is having a beer and eating sunflower seeds.
The deprivation of the city people can blame immigration Unfortunately the council is to be blamed for that.
I was there last week. Locals call Millfield bandit country
Genuinely a scary place to be at night! Thanks for watching
Ethnic gangs? The Kurds, the Chechens, the Romanian gypsies, the Albanians, the Sicyllians , the Nigerians??
