Poorest Towns in The UK – South Elmsall

We’re looking forward to a day when the towns that are not so rich in England or the UK as a whole would be able to stand up in the comity of towns and proudly raise their heads. For now, it’s the turn of South Elmsall. If you’re contemplating a move to South Elmsall or are just interested in knowing what the area is like, we have a very good account in this video that will give you a nice glimpse. For the actual introduction to the town, please our video about towns in the UK that contains a deep analysis of the town. For now, we are discussing South Elmsall as one of the poorest towns in the UK.
Where is South Elmsall?
If anyone needs to be reminded, South Elmsall is a town located in the county of West Yorkshire. It is 1.6 kilometers east of the town of South Kirkby. That is why both towns are oftentimes ranked together. It is also 5 kilometers miles south-east of Hemsworth, 6.4 kilometers north of Thurnscoe, 6.4 kilometers north of Goldthorpe, and 13 kilometers miles northwest of the major town of Doncaster.
Situated just north of the South Yorkshire border, the town was historically in the county of Yorkshire. However, it lies within the metropolitan district council of Wakefield. South Elmsall is in the WF9 2YN postcode district with Pontefract as the post town.
South Elmsall Really in the Past
About two centuries ago, no one would think of Elmsall as a poor town. As a former quarry site, it was deemed a site of national importance because of its quarry and coral reef. It used to be known for its coal mining. The famous Frickley Colliery, one of the largest deep coal mines in the UK found a home in the town. Going into the history of the town, you’d see that it was once on a steady rise to greatness. It used to be mainly a small farming settlement that was self-reliant before the Industrial Revolution. Collieries caused a boom in population and this, in turn, created the need for modern housing for the workforce and their households.
The contributions of the famous Frickley Colliery are enough to take the town beyond the grip of poverty. That colliery brought a lot of improvements to the area. Many clubs and organizations still have the name of the colliery as part of their names. Examples of these are Frickley Colliery Brass Band, Frickley Athletic which is a famous football team, and a cricket club named “Frickley.” Nevertheless, the reality that stares us in the face is that South Elmsall today is one of the poorest towns in the United Kingdom in spite of all it has to make it great.
