Well shoot it in B&W and style them deliberately you can make any place look like a dump.
I went to Barmouth (one of the towns mentioned) as a kid and it was great.

Both are great in my opinion. I don’t care what Morrissey thinks, I love the British seaside.
These photos make me think of Malcolm Pryce‘s surreal Welsh noir books. I know they’re set in a different part of Wales but North Wales is definitely on my list of places to visit.
It sometimes works for landscapes - especially at night. But for people it, unfortunately, makes them look like they're not alive anymore.
If you've ever seen someone who passed away, they somewhat look like a B&W photo of themselves.
Worth a look as the antidote to the OP.
That said, most of my holidays were in Wales back then and the Barmouth turd regatta is my only grim memory.
