AdvertisementThese shocking photographs show an entire housing estate was left to rot with more than 100 derelict homes lying empty and vandalised like a scene from a post-apocalyptic film. The two crumbling streets in Merthyr Vale in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, have been looted by metal thieves, are strewn with litter and scrawled in graffiti that reads 'keep out of hell'. More than a decade since it was announced the properties would be demolished, but Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council said this would 'hopefully commence' later this year. Despite a history of floods in Merthyr Vale, residents remain adamant they hadn't had a serious flood since 2008 - ten years before the residents were turfed out of their homes. Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association were also contacted for comment.
