madras Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I had the unpleasant experience of being in middlesbrough at around 7pm last night. In the town centre around by Binns and I have to say,architecturally and socially the place is probably a worse shithole than sunderland. At least sunderland has some nighlife (all be it a tad neandertahl in style). This isn't a nasty slagging off of the wear and tees as there are some lovely places in teesdale and weardale....just these two metropolii (that right LBW ?)I always thought of as being equally dire. I now actually favour sunderland as being least worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sorry, won't be a popular viewpoint but a lot of the north east is full of equally dire shit holes...including large swathes of Newcastle. I blame Thatcher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Every city has some shitty areas but at least Newcastle city centre is beautiful and thriving. The centres of Middlesbrough and sunderland are both absolute hovels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Thatcher. most urban areas have/are but think the better parts of middlesbrough are like clayton street west Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Agree with Wullie obviously that Newcastle city centre is beautiful and thriving, and admit I got the wrong end of the stick there... Edinburgh used to be nice once. It'sshite now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
