Countries completely gone now...poorer Britain due to high cost of Living...and no help from the Government and importing millions of Muslim Immigrants.

I’m not sure what’s happening, I’m a few miles away in Huddersfield. It’s pretty much the same. It’s like everyone as giving up. And the towns reflect the way of the people in them. Every things gone flat

What happened? Same bloody thing that's happening all over the UK.

My folks born and bred Dewsbury. When i was a kid we visited family just about every Saturday, I'm 59 now. My parents left when my Dad joined the RAF and never went back. I used to love visiting Dewsbury, the shops, the market were the best around. Christmas was always a magical time. The last few times I have been i couldn't wait to get the HELL out of there its a Swamp.

Blimey - what a video. It seems most UK towns have gone into decline in the last few years. The Covid situation was the obvious nail in the coffin. The council seem to be adamant with their anti car stance, which only seems to accelerate the decline of these towns. Come on bus people - your town needs you !

grew up in dewsbury in the 60/70s , absolutely heartbreaking to see. the market used to be a popular coach trip, was a really vibrant mill/ market town. with the decline of the textile trade the money just left dewsbury. never seenit looking so run down, shame because theres still a lot of great buildings left. looks like a thirld world / war zone now. says it all really, all thats left gambling dens, take aways and eastern european shops. such a shame and waste.

Online ordering Amazon etc. is killing the high street. Immigration is changing the people.

The same that happens to every town and cities , the tory and labour party

Born in Dewsbury, lived there 49 years, moved nearly 2 years ago thank god, everyone knows what happened, I now live in North Yorkshire and it feels like Dewsbury was 40 years ago.

Muslim enclave, like many, many towns in the UK.

You ask 'What happened to Dewsbury'? I will tell you in one word - IMMIGRATION.

I was born in Dewsbury in 1946. Being a woollen mill town it was never a glamorous place but in my youth it was at least well kept and always full of activity. Dewsbury Town Hall is still magnificent but other than that these days the town centre is an absolute dump, a total embarrassment. Thank goodness I don't live there anymore.

You must feel sorry for the locals who have lived there all their lives

All by design, it's happening in nearly all towns .

A shining light of multiculturalism!!!

I was born in Staincliffe Hospital, Dewsbury, in 1973 and grew up down the road in Mirfield. I got out in 1998. I've been back a handful of times since but was shocked to see the real decline in the state of the buildings and the ghost town feel about the place. What a shame because if you look at the stunning architecture of Dewsbury, it was once a great looking town centre.

Islam!

You know a town is deprived when even the Wetherspoon has shut down

I regret the Dewsbury I left behind, but this midden? No!!

It’s a right 💩🕳️ now
