THE SIDE OF BATH, UK, MOST TOURISTS DON'T SEE! WELCOME TO TWERTON

Bath in Somerset is a world famous City which tourists flock to there is a huge difference between the rich and the poor here. We visited Twerton which is most deprived part of Bath, home of poverty and poor health. Bristol Rovers formerly played at Twerton Park which is the only reason anyone ever visited this part of Bath. Everybody we spoke to had problems with the housing association and drugs. The crimes were described to us by the residents and we explored with some new camera equipment and conducted our first interview on the Turdtowns channel.

Poor Bryn. I can believe his predicament, as I have an anecdote I will share. 20 years ago I briefly lived in a midlands town, in an area that was full of post war, terraced housing. (Despite their age, there were in good condition). The council had the idea that they could sell off the land and make a mint, but the majority of the housing was owned, (there were people who had been there for 60+ years). First, they sent surveyors to the houses, but the houses were in good nick, so they couldn't make people move. Then, they just offered large cash sums to the residents to move, some took the money and ran. But, some (mostly pensioners) didn't, they wanted to stay in their family homes, places they'd lived their entire lives and had strong memories. So the council, annoyed, moved in problem tenants to live either side, (e.g. drug addicts, vandals, noisy bastards, aka anything that would scare the old). The place went downhill rapidly. Beforehand, it was a nice, safe, working class area, but now it was a shit-hole, (I'd moved down south by then, but when I visited, I was shocked). Then 2008 happened and the big banking crash. Whomever was doing the land redevelopment must've gone bust, as the area was left undeveloped, a waste-ground. Thanks for the videos, makes my town look like a paradise in comparison.

[@altaccount5931]

West midlands Area by chance? This had been common practice and has was a lot more prevalent in the Black Country especially. Give it a few more years and i wouldnt be supprised if it will be poorly maintained private HMO's over the whole county and barekly any privately owned homes alltogether.

Nothing wrong with Twerton. you’ll pay 350k+ plus for an ex council house. The guy talking about the development by the council and it’s housing is talking nonsense. The whole of the lower Bristol road has been allocated for student accommodation,maybe 3000-4000 students which is an asset. To be fair the developments are really smart. There were plans to redevelop the footy ground and regenerate the whole high street,but nope this idiot probably kicked up a stink about the noise and the whole project was scrapped.

Grew up there before it was studentville - couldn't wait to leave and never wanted to go back - its one giant bowl of pollution and snobbery, it's geared up for consumerism and tourists, drinking, drugs and late night expensive dining and one night stands - it has a certain pretentiousness all of it's own - yes there is some wonderful architecture there but as a place to grow up, it was for me terrible and I left as soon as I was able, much of it is dreary and neglected, even the once beautiful botanical gardens are more or less grown over because they council don't want to pay for maintenance of anything The homeless are many and petty criminals are attracted because of the perceived wealth of the place - one man moved from Bournemouth where he was homeless, to Bath and worked stealing designer glasses which were sold to a dodgy pub owner - I used to work in a 24 hour shop and saw all the dreggs of society, crims, dealers, grotty freaks, smack heads a plenty - getting robbed and attacked for booze after the clubs came out was a regular occurence - one regular used to come in with her little girl, very normal, within 2 months of living around all the grimness she'd got into smack , lost the kid and was asking me for money There's a really dreadful side and consequence of putting people in extreme poverty right next to such extreme wealth - Twerton was always grim though, even the market was just low quality tat we'd laugh about and just as grim was Whiteway, Snow Hill, Norfolk Crescent and Julian Road - which is directly behind the pomp of the Royal Crescent - funny thing people living in those areas were often much easier to be around than the other side of Bath which is just grandiose rich kids getting wasted, making music and generally just living off Mummy and Daddy whist doing almost nothing beneficial to anyone, don't get me started on the students!

People talk about intelligence all the time, if only in the negative, by calling someone stupid, which has to be relative to someone intelligent, or else it would be meaningless to call someone the opposite of that. But ask the person next to you what the definition of intelligence is, and they will not know, and neither do you, I have never met anyone who knew the definition if pressed for it, so I do not mean to give you shit, it is only that people talk about it all the time anyway, obviously it carries a lot of value to us... err, smart, clever.. or something, innit? Intelligence has exactly one meaning. - But yeah, it is one of the two things that occupies our minds the most... whether you have brains or not, and whether you are good looking or ugly as fuck... 90% of all insults can be reduced to alluding to either of the two ;) Now, 180 is a lot, really a lot... we need more information here, is the best I can do for him ;)

I lived in Bath for the best part of a decade and I only ever set foot in Twerton ONCE, and that was an accident. Going there is like that scene in the Hurt Locker, where Jeremy Renner wanders off the base and goes into the darkest reaches of the town. People normally only go to Twerton for two reasons: 1. They live there 2. They are in the back of a Police car being driven around trying to identity who mugged them. What you have to remember is that Bath is literally the most beautiful City in the UK, and there is some national beauty competition that they literally won every year for about twenty years in a row. They spend millions of pounds every year on FLOWERS which they plant in the spring on nearly every roundabout and border, and yearly transient population of students and tourists outnumbers the residents by a factor. Bath council is entirely aligned with the principle of making the city pretty and posh, and they will cut funding for essential projects in order to do that. They are also notorious for cutting shady quasi-corrupt deals with businesses to bring even more funds to the beautification budget. Its not an accident that the council cut a deal with a bus provider which made the bus route up Norwood Hill to the University the most expensive bus route per mile in the UK. If Bath Council had their way, they would round up the "Poors" and dump them all on the outskirts of Bristol. If they could get away with, they convert one of the old disused mines into social housing and throw them down the hole. I have only heard of immigrants being housed in a Bath hotel ONCE. Pretty sure the council put an end to that.

In 1992/3 I lived in snow hill when I was 14/15yrs old and it was ok but could get quite rough. Just tried not to fall out with anyone. The park in snow hill in the early 90s was brand new and was good for small kids, sad to see it like that now. At 15/16yrs old we lived on the paragon ( social housing ) and they were fancy. Like whole houses within a building. Two story flats. I never lived in tweton but we used to take the piss outta it as kids. I moved away at 16yrs. I miss it.

I live in Bath and in a village a mile away for years. Bath is nice, you need to leave it to appreciate its full beauty and how comfortable it is. It was getting claustrophobic and once you start seeing the Masonic architecture everywhere, you cannot unsee it. Surprisingly, a large chunk, something like a sixth of all Georgian properties in the city belongs to the locally based housing association. Even in the Royal Crescent or other parts that are the most expensive parts of the city centre, you could ind social housing tenants. There is a large estate, Foxhill that was always notorious, but things are changing as more and more people are priced out as generations grow up, unable to find social housing matching what they had growing up. I personally hated Oldfield Park and the fact that people were willing to pay that much for properties with restricted privacy, often no usable gardens and pedestrians seeing through.

Just a little history. Twerton did have a train station, the smallest. That tall building on the corner, at 1:52 where you turn from the main road and go under the bridge. That was the entrance but it closed years ago. Also driving along the Lower Bristol rd, you see lots of little doors in the wall under the trainline. That was an attempt at making some housing. I'm talking victorian era here. I was born and lived in bath for 20+ years and never knew that was the purpose for all those little doors. Also as an ex local, I used to go to Twerton market, that was nice but don't know if they still do that anymore.

I could go on but who cares I'm busy trying to find WHERE the scummy councils moved my elderly mum after forcing her into care (the strewss of it all and assaulted by pedo funeral director then covered up by bent cops ruined her after serving local hospital for some 45 years)@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834

So sad to see Twerton park looking so dejected, very fond memories of Rovers time there. Was ten when Rovers went there and twenty when they left. Many an illegal pint in the pubs around the area.

[@martinking9945]

Even Liverpool came to town to play there against the gas lol

Visit Nottingham’s Aspley, Rise Park, Bulwell, St. Ann’s and Meadows (where I used to live) if you dare! Take your pick.

If you offered me a swap deal between Runcorn and here its a swap deffo lots of estates here. Try Windmill Hill small but full of activity again another place i lived but the buses refused to service. Made Twerton look hospitable. Why? Im eager to come home but priced out of the market within Bath City Centre..great insightful video..

The way this guy showed how someone used his wall as a toilet cracked me up 😂😂I know it's awful but it's just the way he showed it 😂😂😂

We need a better index for turdtown rankings - index of multiple deprivation is too scientific, I recommend 'abandoned dog turds per 100m', and think Bexleyheath, SE London would rank pretty high, the local mouth breathers love sharing the output of their mongrels with the wider community!

[@That_1ModelTrainGuy]

Can we have Oxfordshire next please? Love your videos mate!

[@paulhynam7332]

Hats off to Bryn for telling it as it is. If you go back to the 1950's you will see it is a common strategy of rich property developers to make poor areas adjacent to high yield areas unliveable by moving undesirables into an area. As soon as he throws in the towel they will pull down the building and build yuppie flats. Let's hope Bryn sticks it out and the developers offer to set him up in a high end flat in a better part of the city.

[@tommyball1863]

I grew up in Oldfield Park, round the corner… I can no longer afford to live in Bath. Twerton has always had a bad rep and you’re right, it’s the area of a UNESCO world heritage site they don’t want you to see. It’s got worse. It’s good to see you on film, keep this up and you’ll eclipse Backpacker Ben, Wendel and Turnip!

[@marktannertt]

I love going to Twerton Park for the football, I hope you stopped at The Crown for a pint! Loads of good memories growing up in Twerton and Oldfield Park - lots of money is being pumped into the High Street soon!

Appreciate the more empathetic take on this one, the guy seemed a bit nutty but you listened. I'll subscribe on the basis of you showing empathy for communities like this, thumbs up to you.

[@sherston]

‘Snow hill is an interesting Estate.’ I’d go along with that description 😃 Especially with that tavern that used to be around nearby and is now a pizza place. Interesting for sure. Top video, as ever. My home city, I was raised in the BA2 area, Southdown way. Be good to see you cover that area and maybe the interesting area of Whiteway? Or would that just be too risky? 😉

[@dominicegan4547]

Snow Hill worth checking too..another big estate..used to live there yrs ago..!

[@mcharrisment4765]

The man in the maroon cardigan was annoying me initially. I thought he was rambling and tbh I found him boring and a know it all. Hang in there because this man does know his stuff and talks complete sense. I really feel sorry for his plight and others in similar situations also. Both leading two parties , government, have let this male and other communities massively down

sadly its true and hell is coming as the dumber head of this political ogre is about to take over and oh boy when they do its gunna be hell on earth! and the other head isnt much smarter either. still i find alot of the commenters here are really not being nice to a man who clearly looks desperate.

It may be entertaining for you but exploiting people for clicks is pretty low TBH.

[@uws5604]

@@womagrid I thought they were pretty fair to him. He was entitled to say what he wanted and present himself how he liked. They did nothing to lead him on. Of course media is about allowing people to present themselves and this has happened long before the dawn of the internet. True exploitation of people is unpleasant but I don't think this was it.

[@womagrid]

@@uws5604 For sure it could have been worse, but (at least for me) the thumbnail gave the game away. Also, I have no idea how much context was given about the purpose of the video and how it would be presented. That being the case, I probably shouldn't assume the worst.

[@uws5604]

@@womagrid The thumbnail wasn't very complimentary, I'll give you that. Personally, I would never, ever get into a public conversation with anybody who was capturing KZbin footage.

[@colcester]

Funny how his bespoke front door can be also purchased in B&Q...😂 As a format going forward, you might have stayed with Bryn a bit to much, I confess that I fast forwarded a bit to skip most of his bit, just watched snippets of him. Maybe if you can find more than one person to interview next time and have a section in the film called LooneyTurds or something... Still, good potential for expansion of Turdtowns, although I still prefer the Countywide visits, picking off the floaters from the flushers, to coin a metaphor...😂

[@freeman10000]

Agreed, the interview was a little long.

It's sad that you missed the huge double fronted Creative Twerton, run by Little Lost Robot, on the high street. They run free arts and educational courses, events and activities. They are giving so much to the community in this area. I know Twerton looks bad, but, having lived very near there, it really isn't awful. The train stop is Oldfield Park, and is a short walk from Twerton high street. Things have gotten worse since Tory rein, but there is a community movement going on to try to improve it. Obviously, council input is necessary, but I just wanted to add that there are efforts being made to make life more bearable 😅

[@radiobez]

When are you heading up North? There is a plethora of hovels that have more than an abundance of faecel matter to choose from. St Helens, Skelmersdale to name but a few

[@Eric_Hunt194]

Skelmersdale is a sight to behold... a sh!t knock-off of Milton Keynes designed around the car but with among the lowest % of car ownership in the country. Built after WW2 to house people from Liverpool but has no railway station and isn't in Merseyside.

[@Jim-so3zm]

[@expatexpat6531]

If you go to Skelmersdale, do drop in on the Maharishi Dome by way of contrast.

[@expatexpat6531]

@@Eric_Hunt194 You can get a bus from Skelmersdale to the Upholland station. It takes 15 mins. They'd have to build a railway line to connect Skelmersdale with the Northern line. But yes, not the best planning.

If you do County Durham for your next video you should look at Ferryhill, Peterlee and Bishop Auckland. The north-east of England is beautiful but the way that some of the towns there have been neglected and left to rot is very sad.

What monsters the Council members must be, to leave people like this and never ever act in the interest of the community

[@womagrid]

There has been quite an obvious pattern of "hitting out" (whatever the f that means) at trending social justice issues, usually a few weeks after the hype has already started to die down, and then disappearing back into the shadows without doing much else. Apparently this and a few fake handwritten notes shoved through the door is all it takes to secure approval from the few that still believe their vote actually makes a difference. To be honest, I don't think we would even know if the election was rigged.

My first ever experiences of watching Rovers 30 years ago were at Twerton Park, making the fortnightly pilgrimage from Bristol over to Bafffff. I take in the occasional Bath City match every so often (mainly for nostalgic reasons) and it’ll come as no surprise that not a single piece of the ground is any different to my last visit in 1996. No word of a lie in this version of TT’s, the entire area in general is a proper dump.
