Clune Park estate in Port Glasgow which is almost deserted, with just a handful of residents left. See SWNS story SWLNestate. One of the last remaining residents of a derelict estate dubbed 'Britain's Chernobyl" says he won't leave - despite it being earmarked for demolition. Marshal Craig, 70, still lives in Clune Park, which has been virtually empty for years and looks like something from a post-apocalyptic film. Built in 1905 it is made up of 430 flats in 45 rotting tenement buildings as well as a rundown church - all covered in graffiti and litter. It was abandoned in 1997 and is now a ghost town and the target of arson attacks with some of the cheapest properties in Britain - in 2020 one flat sold for 6K. The estate in Port Glasgow in Inverclyde was privately owned but Inverclyde Council has bought more than half the properties and wants to demolish the lot.
