Goole, East Yorkshite.
Close your eyes and think, for a minute, of any port town. Felixstowe for example, or Hull, or Grimsby, maybe even Immingham.
Now take away the nice things you get in port towns, this bit may take a bit more imagination, but remove all thoughts of marinas, sailing, romance, fishing, relaxation, profitable industry, uniformed captains, rolling seas, fresh air, seabirds, fresh fish and chips, international culture etc.
You're almost there - you now need to remove anyone who earns more than 60% of the average national wage, as they'll have moved out of the town into a village, or a different town, leaving behind the poor, and the disenfranchised.
Now add all the lovely things that port towns bring - persons for whom English is a foreign language, drugs, alcohol.
Add a few rough pubs and rougher clubs filled with rough young men and rougher young women, all partaking of the widely available drugs and cheap contraband alcohol.
Getting the picture? Brillant, you've almost got a picture of Dover, now move that picture about 4 notches towards "extreme" and you've got Goole - Britain's most inland seaport.
