One house, no neighbors: Authorities demolished an entire Welsh town, leaving one home listed for £1

Just one home is left of a village that used to have 600 people.

A three-bedroom house in the hills of South Wales has just been sold, and it just so happens to be the last remaining building left from a village that was wiped off the map decades ago. The property at 2 Lawrence Terrace in the ex-mining village of Troedrhiwfuwch attracted 13 bidders who placed 230 bids before selling for £49,050, or about $65,000 at current exchange rates, reports Wales247. The guide price going into the online auction had been cut to just £1, or about a dollar and change.
