t is often said that home is where the heart is.

But the opposite appears to be true for the inhabitants of these ten towns and cities, as they were revealed as the top entrants in a list of England's worst place to live.

The new league table of 'cr*p towns' by website ILiveHere.co.uk reveals the areas branded 'grotty' and 'run-down' by not-so-proud residents.

Almost 50,000 people responded to the survey, which is carried out every year.

A spokesman for ILiveHere said: 'Several top ten perennials have fallen off the list this year and a new entry taken the coveted crown.

'But it is our role to offending local councillors, dignitaries and meddlesome ratbags - as well as ruining the trade of slime-ball lying estate agents.

'It makes our day when they try to deny being in the new Top Ten, desperately trying to polish a t**d of a town.'

So what towns and cities made the list? Find out below...

He's obviously not going back there.

Just curious. Is crap considered a swear word in England? It seems that f*ck has become an everyday, every conversation word there. But crap in this article has the asterisk???

Frankly, the pictures chosen make the cities look positively quaint and lovely compared to most American cities.

On the other hand, the British are so picky they chose “Eden” as only the FIFTH best place to live.

If these people had been to Detroit they’d really think the government had been using it for several Nuclear tests.
