Description
RISHTON SHOCKED ME! Is this the friendliest town I've visited in my Broken Britain documentary series?
Today I'm exploring Rishton, a small town in Hyndburn, Lancashire, between Blackburn and Accrington, and what I discovered genuinely surprised me!
After investigating shocking fly-tipping, rubbish-filled alleyways, neglected housing and deteriorating streets across Lancashire, I headed to Rishton to see what life was really like.
And what a surprise this little town turned out to be!
During my investigation, I discovered some neglected and damaged properties, along with rubbish and areas that could do with some attention.
BUT HERE'S WHAT SHOCKED ME...
Compared with some of the other places I've visited, the alleyways I explored were relatively clean, the rubbish wasn't anywhere near as bad, and the local people were absolutely fantastic!
I genuinely believe Rishton could be the friendliest town I've visited so far!
After documenting serious problems in Darwen, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley and Nelson, it was refreshing to visit somewhere that surprised me for the right reasons.
Not every episode of Broken Britain needs to uncover shocking conditions.
My aim is to document the REAL Britain, highlighting problems where they exist, celebrating communities that deserve recognition and giving ordinary people a voice.
Rishton still has its problems, particularly neglected properties, but there's clearly plenty to appreciate about this little Lancashire town.
HAS RISHTON BEEN UNDERRATED?
Watch my investigation and decide for yourself!
