It’s a weekday morning on Grimsby’s East Marsh estate – where residents are beginning their day in the poorest part of the nation. Of course, that’s not to say everyone here is living on the poverty line – but the data is striking.

The average annual income for an entire household here sits at just £22,000 a year. That’s over £10,000 less than the UK national average – and almost a staggering £86,000 below London’s affluent Clapham area – which has the highest in the country at just above £108,000.

For hundreds of years this port town in North East Lincolnshire on the River Humber estuary punched well above its weight.

It’s fishing industry became known around the world – and at one point the town became the largest and busiest fishing port on earth. But after the industry started falling – poverty came next.

And with the fish gone – the town changed with Job losses, low wages and a lack of infrastructure.

Today average annual household incomes in the town’s East Marsh are the lowest of anywhere in England and Wales – making it the poorest part of the country.

This is Real Britannia.

  4. Interesting/informative/entertaining. Welcome to the diabolically devastating " New World Order.-!!!😳. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉💵😉.

  5. This is staggering! If a household with 20k a year in Britain is the poorest, but in the rest of the developing world, any household with that kind of money can live a luxurious life.

  6. We need to pay more taxes, so the ones who do no work can live better. I work full-time and I earn 1300£ and 600£ I pay towards a shared house. 80£ for transportation and 300 for food. I LIVE A RAT LIFE AND WORK HARD TO SURVIVE. THANK YOU GOV!🤡🤡🤡

  7. Is it possible to have average part of Nigeria 🇳🇬 looking like this place? Do I see paved tarred grounds and roads? Do I see buildings without prison walls around them? You call this poverty ? Government giving individual 2k every month? Have you been to India 🇮🇳? Nigeria 🇳🇬, South America? 😂😂.
