Work began in 2007, but then stopped when the building company went bust - the 16 homes have sat empty ever since, slowly being reclaimed by nature
Eerie images show a 'ghost town' - a housing estate lying virtually empty after building work stopped over a decade ago. The group of sixteen homes once worth around £300K each lie abandoned after work began in 2007 - then came to a halt.
The properties at Woolmill Place in the town of Sorn in East Ayrshire in Scotland remain mostly empty and are being taken over by nature. Inside, the houses are half-painted and plastered, with unfitted toilets and baths tossed aside in different rooms. The few residents who moved in say that, more than a decade after the project began, they are still "outraged" that it was never completed.
The site was originally built by a building company which went bust following the 2007 credit crunch. Following its bankruptcy the site was bought by a construction firm for £2million. Local residents said the company had done nothing since - leaving the homes now slowly falling apart with derelict interiors.
Speaking in 2017, a woman who lives in one of the homes said: “Nothing has been done for years. We were promised that it would be a great community. If they don’t want to build anymore then fine - but sell it to someone who does.”
