The oldest town...

Not in terms of the town itself, but its population, according to the release from the Census 2011 is Christchurch in Dorset.

There's a useful Guardian article which has a chat with someone who opened up a nightclub recently... Reminds me of a classic exercise in Waugh which looked at population structure in a town, and the issues with an imbalance in the population...

Students could usefully explore statistics like this, and what this might actually 'look like'.... Take a Street View tour of the town - can you see any evidence of an elderly population trend ?
