The last remaining house in a former Welsh mining village where hundreds of people left nearly 50 years ago over landslide fears will go up for auction.
More than 600 people and their pets abandoned Troedrhiwfuwch, Caerphilly County, in 1985 because of fears the village – nestled in Rhymney Valley – would be hit with a catastrophic landslip.
Number 2 Lawrence Terrace is the only house left in the village and auctioneers have set its guide price at £35,000.
Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “Why this otherwise ordinary three-bedroom house survived while all the others didn’t remains a bit of a mystery but it may be a story a new owner of the property may wish to unravel.”
