Modern Ruins: Eco-Village Built In Wales

 The following are from a Daily Mail article entitled "Flagship eco-village backed by King Charles's charity now resembles 'apocalyptic film' after being abandoned for more than a decade." The article relates that "[a]lmost 300 houses were built on a former oil refinery site in Llandarcy, near Neath, South Wales under plans to turn industrial land into a thriving new village," but shortly after a visit from King Charles in 2013, work on the project ceased and most of the properties have sat vacant since. 


Other than the discoloring on the buildings, it doesn't look too bad from overhead; but when you view things from the ground, it takes on more of an abandoned vibe.

  1. You know it isn't livable or desirable or Starmer would have moved thousands of illegals there.

    1. It was built where there had once been an oil refinery.
