I remain entirely sceptical that any town's economy was somehow devastated by the EU. The UK was the poor man of Europe before it joined in the 70s and has thrived as a member. It is far more likely that Thatcherism (which continued to varying degrees under Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron) was to blame.

I don't need you to take what I say seriously, I lived through that and experienced the effects first hand. Whether or not you believe it makes no difference whatsoever, the facts are still the facts. Also, what you call "Thatcherism" is actually "Neo-Liberalism" something which the EU is not only okay with but is actually a prerequisite for being a member. You don't need to take that seriously either, you can just ask them.
