Once popular UK seaside resort is now a ghost town with crumbling homes falling into sea

A seaside village which used to be buzzing with families and tourists who would travel miles to pay a visit is now being described as a ghost town. Skipsea, in East Yorkshire which was once a popular destination is now filled with abandoned homes and shacks which are falling into the sea, the Mirror reports.

Erosion at the seaside location means buildings are at danger of falling into the crashing waves along the North Sea coast. Rows of homes have been left swaying on the deteriorating cliffs and residents are concerned about the future of their 'dream homes' and whether or not they will 'wake up with the sea' in their bed.

The tiny village has even put up warning signs urging tourists to stay away which read: "Danger. Do not proceed". Devastated Jimmy Mac who lives there with his partner Megan Shaw said: "Look what we're losing. It's beautiful, isn't it? It's a dream home. It's just a shame. I don't want to move from this house.
