The Worst Things in Haverhill, Suffolk*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Haverhill.

The Worst Things
  • The council house dwelling vermin and their equally obnoxious children (Or should it their litter), on the Clements Estate. Along as their brood are not in the house, disturbing mum - (who is in all likelihood on her fat arse browsing facebook) - they are free to roam the streets in packs engaging in anti-social behaviour. From school's end until sunset the little scum bags amuse themselves by Vandalising private property; damaging gardens and fencing, littering (usually empty packets of Aldi Crisps), throwing stones, and abusing owner/occupiers. To be fair they take a break to go home for dinner, no doubt of chips, which mother has so lovingly microwaved.
  • Charles Hudson
  • some hostility around
  • Fighting is pretty common...police are pants. Utter shite.
  • The place has no railway sation but recently i heard "The worlds first roundabout with a laser" was built. It shows what morons run the place; it has no railway, decent shops, or nightlife but they think a shit roundabout will being people to the town. Its only the first roundabout of its kind because its a such a studpid idea. ill bring my kids to see haverhill roundabout, what a day out, now lets get something to eat or do something else, oh no there isnt anything else. My advice demolish the shit hole,the no hopers who live there and i hope a lorry crashes into that shitty roundabout.

  • Peoples tendancy to slag off Haverhill before they give it a fair chance, it's the same as any small town, it has its bad points and its good points...go anywhere and you will find it is the same... Kids moaning about things and spending all their time moping round the estates go to the park, play a sport, join a club...theres enough of them....
  • Charles Hudson
  • the old cuntz the wingin pricks the wannabe cambridge crew - ie - thinks cos they go to college / sixth form in cambridge that they r betta than us!
  • The hundreds of townies that flood the streets fighting everyone and themselves. It smells. It really does. Right now it smells like... strawberries or something.
  • Too much development of housing, Poor commuications and it looks a mess.
  • every thing
  • People in Haverhill that constantly put it down. If you don't like it, go live somewhere else!
  • Haverhill was quite a pleasent place I've been told, before it became the place to park the dross that London didn't want. IFF used to make me want to vomit, and the Clements estate? The A**hole that designed it should have been made to live in it! Haverhill did me some good however. It made me realize that I didn't have to live with the no-brainers that live there, and I could find a better life, (It isn't too difficult when it comes to Haverhill). Come visit me in Toronto, you can drive the Volvo, Merc or Mazda and swim the my pool! ( But leave your bloody London accent in the ghetto!!).
  • Smell-IFF! Crap roads! So many 16 year old girls pushing prams round! No decent shops! Dog Sh*t everywhere! Agresssive drunk people (who are not funny!) Really run down housing estates! full of losers! dumb town planners(tried to put accross plans for a lighthouse for millennium!) Council that decide to build a bypass from the edge of Haverhill to the center of Haverhill and then run out of money! Every building built is badly built and looks depressing!
  • Having no train station - Haverhill is the largest town in the UK with no train station - worth knowing, me-thinks!

  • Haverhill was a pleasant little Market Town with old established insudtries like Haverhill Rope and Twine which serviced the local farming community. I suppose the rot set in when the 1962 Beeching Report saw the end of the railways in Suffolk. Before then Haverhill was a focal point for several railway lines. Later in the 60's, the sprawling mass of London needed to clear thousands of slums and clear away war damage to enable modernisation. Someone had the idea of building estates, (Clements Estate), in the country, establishing an industrial park nearby and moving thousands of city dwellers out into the country. Land was cheap, and locals could be ridden over roughshod. The architect for the Clements, I believe was given an award for fitting, at that time, the most dwellings in the smallest space, without resorting to highrise flats. Many of the people who migrated from London were honest folk keen to escape the smog and filth that London has become, but also the London Boroughs had the opportunity of a lifetime to finally get rid of their not so palatable residents. Therefore almost overnight Haverhill became a melting pot of individuals.
  • The Drappit Smock
  • The worst thing about haverhill it is full of drug taking and drug pushing i have only lived here about 3or4 years and i wish i could move out the teenagers run wild and get a way with it the police are a waste of time.The houses are small the wireing is out of date shops are crap i will go as far as to say haverhill is shit.
  • The people. They are either petty bourgeois fools or rough ignorant thugs. Teenage pregnancy to teenagers ratio 2:3. % of Fridays per annum ending in fights 200%. Snotty stuck-up fools who have done no better than the drunken thugs and sluts to escape what is basically the worst place on earth.
  • Haverhill is the largest town in England not to have a train station (alledgedly).
  • The people who live here and put it down. If they don't like it - move out!
