Welcome to UK Explored, in this video I’m going to show you what I saw and experienced inside 5 of the most deprived, dangerous - and ultimately worst areas to live in the city of Coventry.
I decided on the areas for a combination of local knowledge, published police and crime stats, deprivation reports from the council, and census data.
I went to Bell Green, Hillfields, Henley Green, Willenhall, and Foleshill.
What I found was pretty shocking to be honest, Coventry doesn't have the worst reputation, but these areas or among the worst in the country.
I hope you enjoyed the video, if you have any suggestions for other cities I should explore in a similar fashion please leave a comment below, thanks!

I've lived in all these places from 1960 until 1990 back in the day Bell Green with all the shops was great Hillfields was so diverse where I brought my Reggae records from as it had a shop that imported Jamaican reggae.... Lived here in a rented room... Henley Green like Wood End has always been dodgy... The plan was to build houses for families flats and bed sits for singles or small families and then bungalows for the older population it was a social experiment that went wrong lots of the flats and bedsits have since been demolished... I lived in two flats here and a house... Willenhall was always deprived like Wood End and Henley green I lived in a bedsit here and later a bungalow.... Foleshill is again deprived but has some great shops for veg and fruit but the housing is cramped it is probably more diverse than Hillfields.... But with all that said although I was broken into multiple times especially in wood end the people I became friends with were fantastic it's just some crime "Families" spoiled it for everyone else....

the buildings do not cause the crime, the people in them cause the crime. High rise buildings are almost always local authority homes and they are often filled with the uneducated or undisciplined. with military service and private policing, combined with govt legislation to jail wrongdoers indefinitely, these places would be transformed.

There's quite a few reasons poverty can cause littering. Crime, lack of education, lack of pride in the area. For me the main problem is a lack of public services like street cleaning, proper disposal, available bins etc. Take a nice area like kensington - you drop litter, a council cleaner will have swept it up by the end of the day. You fly tip a sofa, a resident will report it (which again links back to having pride in the area) and the council will arrange disposal. Poor areas don't get that same level of public service, so the rubbish problem just gets exponentially worse.

I feel sorry for Coventry, it used to be a massive industrial city and wealthy in most areas. The majority of the city was destroyed in WW2 and with that came the redevelopment in the 50s and 60s which left us with the dump it has been for decades. Unemployment due to death of industry has rocked the place and we all know it as chav central now. Shame, just a reminder this is the 6th richest country in the world.

The 'majority' of the city was not destroyed - City centre most certainly. After that selective factories were targeted - a lot also being close to the city centre.

@@apathyintheuk265 What are you talking about? Over 42,000 homes were damaged sufficiently to require rebuilding, that was over half the housing stock of the entire city. In one of the first raids on Coventry 4300 homes were destroyed and two-thirds of the buildings in the city centre were damaged. Coventry was carpet bombed, you make it sound like the Luftwaffe selectively bombed specific targets which isn't exactly true. The city changed completely in a very short space of time, the redesign through the 50s and 60s were meant to be a city of the future but it turned into a city of concrete blocks and loss of employment.
@apathyintheuk265 4 күн бұрын
@@tacticaldelusion The City centre was a highly populated residential area back then - as well as being a hub for industry as well as the ancient historical artefact. It was a win win as far as a wartime target was concerned - cripple the war effort and demoralise the people of a City. I can assure you the Luftwaffe did bomb selective targets - garnered from intel. Do you honestly think they flew over 600 miles to just casually drop bombs at will with an endless supply of fuel in the vague area of the outlying suburbs - that didn't occupy critical industry? Your last paragraph concerning 'loss of employment' is quite frankly embarrassing. Have you not heard the term, 'Boom Town'? Good god, man, have yourself an early night.

Stoke Aldermoor was the area used for Onslow's house (Michell Close) in Keeping Up appearances - they needed a run down slum area to portray the poverty he lived in, and Stoke Aldermoor has always had a bad reputation. (Hyacinth's house was at Heather Road, Binley Woods Coventry by the way) I was born in Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry and lived there for my childhood, fortunately my parents could afford to live in Stivichall, so I was not exposed to the rougher areas of the city, but over the last 20 years Coventry has got really bad. 14 years or Tory austerity, benefit cuts and rising poverty have not helped.

I tell you why there is so much litter, white goods and mattresses on the streets - the local councils charge too much at the waste centres. Council tax is not used for the bin men to clean the streets - shameful. When I lived in Luton, a car was £10 to even enter, then they charged on top for you to bring your waste. In Ireland, you can take mattresses for 10 euros each and get them recycled into new. Great scheme, but lets face it, if you are proper skint, you can't afford to recycle.
@KillaRockinBird 16 күн бұрын
The Council charge about £16 for 5 items to be removed (big items like a fridge, a mattress, a sofa or 5 bags of rubbish is classed as 1 item) then if you want 5 more removed it's another fiver. I think that's pretty reasonable because if you can't drive or you haven't got a big enough car to fit your fridge freezer in, then you can just call them and they'll pick it up from the roadside outside your house. The tip is free to use, unless you have a van. Then I don't know what the charge is, but you could just save your time and petrol and pay £16 for the service I mentioned. People are just lazy and don't want to pay or do anything about their problem of getting rid of their item that they bought.

The best thing I ever did was move out of Willenhall. First thing I noticed after I moved was that I could hear birds chirping. In Willenhall, I never did and I was there 8 years. Constant noise from people shouting, dogs barking, music thumping and engines revving. The atmosphere as you walk around, its depressive, like there's no hope or dreams and everyone's miserable and looks it. It sounds dramatic but you filter stuff out and you get hardened to it after you've lived there a while, everythings sh*t but that's just life and the way it is. Then one day you move out and realise just how bad it's been and wonder why you ever stayed that long. So if you live there, do yourself and your family a favour, and move to a nicer part of the city!

I moved to Foleshill in 2017, leaving in 2019 and it genuinely didnt feel that bad. Id make the occasional shopping trip over to Bell Green and that was notably rougher. Left the midlands in 2019 and now live in the countryside...much nicer.

Henley Green was a bad area 40 years ago. When I studied in Birmingham, this was one area you didn't venture into in the silent hours. WIllenhall by contrast was actually an OK, fairly Des. Res. area back in those days. Famous for the lock-smithing industry, and home to many famous lock brands.

I made a couple of joke comments on your Leicester video, but on a more serious note straight off the bat, “it’s not the place that’s the problem, it’s the people in it!” I see this problem almost everywhere I go. What’s the point in trying to improve an area when most of its human inhabitants couldn’t care less anyway?

All these videos on UK cities are nowhere near as rough as most cities in the USA. In the US to step out at night without a gun in your handbag or pocket is very dangerous. Also windows must be iron barred also doors. In the UK you are just playing at being rough.

That shopping centre at the start of the video was once a thriving one. Hillfields has long been a hole but now filled with people from the third world. So to the Foleshill and Stoney Stanton Rd areas The indigenous population are increasingly avoiding the city centre as well now. It too is looking increasingly like a third world country. The council are all in favour of continued mass immigration into the city, so ithings are only going to get worse and worse. .
