Has anyone been to Hirst recently, the place is scary. Got off the bus at the wrong stop and went to the library to ask for directions. Place is full of people who think they are all as hard as nails. Had an idiot in an orange boiler suit standing staring at me as I walked across a car park, then 3 nutters started following me. Finally a complete stranger threatened to kick the f*** out of me for no reason. All this happened in under 10 minutes.

Terrible place.

Good god.

When you say Hirst do you mean the Wansbeck Hospital/North Seaton area or the town centre? I know that the entire area was once called Hirst. 

I've walked through every part of Ashington except Fallowfields/Green Lane. Do never under any circumstances get off the X22 in that place.
