The Poorest Town In Britain: “We Live On Nothing And We’re Just Surviving“
It’s a weekday morning on Grimsby’s East Marsh estate - where residents are beginning their day in the poorest part of the nation. Of course, that’s not to say everyone here is living on the poverty line - but the data is striking.
The average annual income for an entire household here sits at just £22,000 a year. That’s over £10,000 less than the UK national average - and almost a staggering £86,000 below London’s affluent Clapham area - which has the highest in the country at just above £108,000.
For hundreds of years this port town in North East Lincolnshire on the River Humber estuary punched well above its weight.
It’s fishing industry became known around the world - and at one point the town became the largest and busiest fishing port on earth. But after the industry started falling - poverty came next.
And with the fish gone - the town changed with Job losses, low wages and a lack of infrastructure.
Today average annual household incomes in the town’s East Marsh are the lowest of anywhere in England and Wales - making it the poorest part of the country.
This is Real Britannia.
