  • 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.

      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!

    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.

Ask me how I know... happens to be one of my favourite conversation pieces, I had even read a book on IQ testing already 30 years ago by the Mensa Society, there are no secrets about IQ testing. 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?

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. Visit occasionally because most of my family are there. I've also heard how bad curo is, so glad I don't live there now.

    Even just the name Twerton matches its appearance. Poor Brian I felt sorry for his continuous situation. Was not sure about the sums of money he had spent on his interior £350 thousand, and being put in a pvc door frame, If he owns his property why are the council going in there to destroy things like his gold fireplace. He should put a CTV camera on the corner of the building to catch the people who toilet his drain. I do hope he gets some peace soon. I wanted him to invite you inside to see his interior designs. Thankyou for sharing about this part of Bath that I did not know existed.

    I do pest control in Bath, so its pretty safe to say I've seen the city's arsehole, and Twerton definitely takes the cake in depravation. Everythings falling apart, even the Morrisons there is a mess that their head office would rather forget about. Its just one of those places the council would rather sweep under the rug and its to the detriment of the rest of the city. You wouldn't think bath would have gangs and the like, but it does and they all hail from Twerton. Even get them going to places like Frome and Westbury to cause trouble. Cant blame them, the kids have been left with nothing better to do and no money

    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.

    You could stop in Chester, very similar to Bath, very posh and expensive houses and then just outside if a little hidden is Blacon. Cheshire police even moved the police station from the centre of the city to a new building in Blacon. Often the people who live there are the real people of Chester, the ones who do the real work and need a voice but those who visit only see the gentrified nice Chester not the place that is forgotten about!

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.
