It is often said that home is where the heart is.
But the opposite appears to be true for the inhabitants of these ten towns and cities, as they were revealed as the top entrants in a list of England's worst place to live.
The new league table of 'cr*p towns' by website ILiveHere.co.uk reveals the areas branded 'grotty' and 'run-down' by not-so-proud residents.
Almost 50,000 people responded to the survey, which is carried out every year.
A spokesman for ILiveHere said: 'Several top ten perennials have fallen off the list this year and a new entry taken the coveted crown.
'But it is our role to offending local councillors, dignitaries and meddlesome ratbags - as well as ruining the trade of slime-ball lying estate agents.
'It makes our day when they try to deny being in the new Top Ten, desperately trying to polish a t**d of a town.'
So what towns and cities made the list? Find out below...
1. Peterborough
Top of the pile, somewhat surprisingly, is one of the country's oldest cities and home to one of its finest cathedrals.
Despite attractions such as a Bronze Age village and the Burghley House stately home, Peterborough has failed to impress its 200,000 dwellers.
Critics have voted it into the top spot of the annual list for the first time, with one describing it as 'the biggest dump in England with aggressive and inbred residents'.
Another critic warned: 'You feel totally isolated from the rest of the world and life in general, as though everything else is going on and you're not part of it as you're stuck in this dump. Take a trip into the town centre and it's like walking onto the set of the 'Walking Dead' - every manner of inbred mutant adorns the streets.

2. Huddersfield
'There's nothing but pound shops and a few coffee shops. It's polluted, unclean, full of idiots and a horrible place to live.'
Another local said: 'It's a rough, boring, chavvy, craphole. For a demonstration of the chav scooterists trying to impress the scummy lady chavs, simply go and look in Morrisons car park from 7pm onwards - thousands of the cretins, unfortunately they never seem to fall off. In short if you like your car windows, teeth, kneecaps etc. then avoid this s******e like you would a man with leprosy! You have been warned.'
Huddersfield failed to impress its residents, coming in at second place due to its high street of 'pound shops and coffee shops'
3. Rochdale
A critic wrote: 'Take in the smells - the strong whiff of tobacco and fatty foods with subtle hints of exhaust fumes, sweat and damp vegetables from the market area - and see if you can detect a undertone of vomit, Karate aftershave and old cheese.
'No need to hide the rolls of fat around your midriff, no need to bother with personal hygiene or inconveniences such as makeup or combs. You are now standing in the centre of the universe. Breath deep my friend, soak it up. Then make your choice - leave fast or stay forever.'
And another said: 'Welcome to the cesspit of the universe, where evolution took a break and spat out this breed of useless slack-jawed yokels with less IQ than a glass of water.
'If you have a choice - visit Rochdale or have your gonads beaten 800 times with a rusty sledgehammer wielded by a German bodybuilder - I'll get the hammer.'
A large town in Greater Manchester, Rochdale takes third place in the list, with critics terming it the 'cesspit of the universe'
4. Doncaster
'You've probably been forced to pass here on the train at some time in your life and seen all the attractions such as smack and rat-infested flats.'
Another added: 'Ah Doncaster, that s**t-hole surrounded by other s**t-holes like Hull, Barnsley, Pontefract, Scunthorpe and Rotherham.
'A night out in Donny is magical, with bums sitting on steps drinking White Lightning near the old strip club or the Jobcentre, and chavvettes with near nothing on, looking to volunteer to contribute to Doncaster's rising pregnancy rate.'
Doncaster's famous minster wasn't able to stop it from sliding into fourth place in the list of England's worst places to live
5. Hull
Hull, the European Capital of Culture in 2017, has made the top 10 every year since 2005 and is three-times overall winner - so this is possibly an improvement.
One critic said: 'I was born and bred in Hull and can honestly say it's a dump. Just spend ten minutes outside the Maternity Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary.
'Watch in amazement as 15 year-old Courtney shouts at her three kids to "f**king get back 'ere or I'll f**king bray yer" as she chain smokes her fag before re-entering the building to spit out another "no-known dad" baby...'

6. Rotherham
Rotherham is described as 'a worthy nomination' by one critic: 'I think I'll head off somewhere else and get away from it all. I put as much distance between me and the population as possible after that first visit.'
'I stopped going into the town centre - there was just no point because I like a pint without violence.
'After a year of reading headlines in the Rotherham Advertiser like "Chip pan fire guts house", "Body found outside takeaway' and "Asbo granddad at it again" I decided I didn't fit in and moved away.'

7. Blackpool
Describing itself as the entertainment capital of the North, it was once famed for its golden mile but now according to locals, conjures up images of drunken stags and hens, falling over in the street and spewing on themselves, before retiring to a grotty seaside.
'Just walking around the town centre and seeing the result of years of inbreeding is an ordeal - we try to avoid the place unless absolutely necessary. The best thing about Blackpool is the M55 out.
'While in Blackpool all you smell is weed, McDonald's, KFC - you may think it's a jolly seaside resort with candy floss and donkeys but it's a scum-bucket for the transients who come here to draw benefits in a holiday resort instead of in an inner city.'

8. Castleford
One local reported: 'Recent highly scientific research - walking down the high street - revealed that one in three inhabitants under the age of 30 fits neatly into the chav box.
'In a town where
