That or the town in Poland called Hel. Hel also has the distinction, by virtue of its position, of being approachable by one road only. Literally *the* road to Hel.

Edinburgh. It’s gothic. Has a whole load of underground vaults. An immortal dog that guards a graveyard. Bagpipe music.

Bury if you want a B town Rochdale Oldham Heywood Take your damn pick. They all need to be completely demolished and started again, or just let wildlife take over. They're all rough as arseholes. Drugs, crime, let's not forget the paedophile ring that happened across Rochdale and Heywood.
