It is not like that now. It is an absolute ****hole and what is left of the market is, frankly, disgusting. Tat and (probably) stolen goods. The town itself is run down, the people are drunk/high and aggressive, and it's basically just an unpleasant place to be, let alone live.
It is still 99% white British. These people are all locals born and bred.
I feel like you are seeing the changes in small towns / communities that are occurring everywhere and you are assuming that immigration is the cause. I suspect you'd find, if there had been no immigration at all, you'd still have the same complaints about the area and the people.
