A once popular seaside town that has lost its tourists due to "stabbings and shootings" has seen house prices plunge as low as £5,000.
Horden, in Durham, was a thriving mining community but it is is now a very different place since the collapse of the industry.
On the north east coast, the town home to around 8,500 residents is bordered by the two picturesque Denes, the villages of Easington Colliery and Blackhall Colliery, and by the new town of Peterlee.
