Abandoned Ghost Town | UK's Most Polluted Street Families Forced To Leave

Today we explore an abandoned ghost town
This is the most polluted street in the UK outside of central London.
Over 21,000 vehicles use this road every single day.
The narrow road has created a canyon effect, causing a concentrated toxic environment too dangerous to live in.
The 23 properties became homes from hell for the former residents when the pollution level increasingly worsened. The government have ordered for the entire row of three story terraced houses to be demolished without delay, turfing families away from their homes.
An entire street of beautiful homes condemned, drowning in dirty air, their windows and walls caked with black dust, now abandoned, a whole community gone.
We have come to see what’s left behind…

My late grandparents lived in number 14, the roads weren't as busy when they lived there, it was a happy childhood spending days in their garden and in the brook. My dad was born in the house too.
I was just imagining how lovely it would have been! Fewer cars and what a multidimensional layout for patios, gardens, and play areas. The fresh breezes from the trees and brook is why they didn't smell things as bad in the back. I could practically feel the breeze. We need more trees for the future. There are ways to build better now with the environment.
Your dad was born in da house and not in a hospital, I thought that happens in Poor Countries like mine Mexico!?
@@jorgebarranco4200less born in my house in Britain too. wartime midwives
I literally live 2 minutes away from here, I grew up in number 12, the houses have now been demolished as of two weeks ago!
Have so many fond memories of here, the back gardens were awesome and if you cross the little Brook/stream at the back of the houses and walk up about 100yards you'll find the old mine shaft!
These were miners houses back in the day!
You would clean the windows & the exact same day there would be a layer of soot back on the window!
The lorries were annoying, they would rattle the windows as they passed and god help us when the emergency services were going past 24/7!
I have pictures of what it used to look like if you would like to see them!
Ooh you should upload them on CZcams and share the link here
What is happening on the land now. WIll it be allowed to return to 'a normal state' - or are they planting lots of trees etc to absorb some of the fumes?
Are you both generally happy people? Aside from the seriousness or gravity of searching abandoned buildings you two make me smile. Thank you for all you do :)
This made me sad, such a potentially lovely place to have a home ruined by pollution. I really hope these people have found new homes they love. It was very good to take a peak into these homes though and see what different things they had all done. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it Trudie! It really is a shame 😔 A waste of houses.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
A unique visit and very nicely done, thanks Sam and Jess! I briefly lived in a house on a very busy street and beyond the exhaust fumes, the droning sound of passing cars creates a kind of low-level mental stress. You get used to the noise in one way, but never experience true silence or a sense of calm. I really noticed a difference when I left and lived in a new place. I'm sad for these families but I hope they left before the environment ruined their health.
How sad that it’s so beautiful and so abandoned when clearly so many people loved and took pride in their homes here
blimey....I now at least three roads like this where I live and there are no plans to pull down the houses!!
It’s such a shame 😣
I lived in No. 1 Woodside Terrace. Wonderful childhood memories.
As a person who is scared of heights the place scares me to death. I'd be worrying about my dogs. If I had kids I'd be worrying about them. Those platform areas don't look safe. Kids have no sense of danger That would still be a busy road, except in the days of the horse and cart.
Oh I can imagine, how beautiful with that little creek at the bottom of the garden. Bliss.
It must of been a beautiful place to live untill the road spoilt it
Hello ma'am, When did it start getting busy on that road? How long ago and why didn't a lot of these take some things? Were you rushed out?
@@amybannister4021 i think the road was there first most older roads in the UK started their lives as country tracks
I think jess is a natural healer that's why animals love her ,I hope the government plant lots of trees there would be a nice walk by the river brilliant stuff guys 🤗💖🍀⭐️
Thank you Sarah 🥰 Glad you enjoyed it ❤️ Yes that would be amazing.
They should have not built
The houses there in the
First p by the lookes of it
Alison Clark probably when they built them there wasn't many cars.
It's too bad that the road couldn't have been rerouted away from those homes.
I'm sure quite a few are but then people catch on they can go faster on it because most are using the alternative route 😅😃😂😅😁😂😅
@Nlcola Stephens me too
Damn is there no one homeless??? I mean this is what happens when you move farther out in the country, more urban decay, more pollution definitely, wastelands!!!
@Nlcola Stephens Where about in Wales is this road ? It looks very similar to the road just before Logerheads Nr Mold.
Sadly re-routing the main road would have done more harm (i.e. a bypass having to be built through the countryside) than just removing the houses. It's a main road and I'm sure pollution was much worse there in the 1970s, but now these things are measured people's health rightly can't be allowed to be put at risk. The homeowners were given 150% of the value of their homes, so should not have been out of pocket, though it must be sad to move.
Travel that road every day for about 15 years ,could never understand how they could live with all that noise and pollution
What is the name of the road
@@chrisnoble2084 Hafod-yr-ynys road
@@chrisnoble2084 if u go onto google earth n enter the road name, u can see all the houses b4 they were boarded up n the families are still living in them. So sad 😞
I drive this road a lot. The traffic is non stop and can get gridlocked at rush hour. The local authority completed compulsory purchases on all of the properties and paid 150% of the market value for each of them. They are due to be demolished imminently.
Such a shame. Wonder where all the families ended up.
@@RuthCrocker some of them got rehomed locally in council accommodation
This was one of youre best explores for the amount of things left abandoned . I would absolutely love that stream at the bottom of my garden because it would help me relax and sleep at night . It's so loud aswell .
Glad you enjoyed it Kisbey, thank you so much for watching ☺️ We would love a stream too 😌
@@Samandjessexplore no problem 😇😇😇
Even though the place is abandoned and trashed it must have been enjoyable when they were first built. I love the leveled back yards going down to the river. It looks like people spent a great deal of time outside, with all the gardens it must have been lovely.
Ya I was thinking that to
Yes without the road they would have been great! Such a shame.
Just read up about it and it's being demolished this month so might have already started. There were some lovely houses and loved the river at the back. Such a shame. Great explore thank you xxxx
End of July, beginning of August I believe. Once all kids are on summer hols.
@@WelshTiger85 it was supposed to start back in January, delay after delay. Trying to pull out on to the hill when demolition does start is going to be horrendous, it's bad enough now.
@@nanof6angels I know, I live close by and I'm up and down the hill near enough every day! Saying it's going to be horrendous is an understatement lol 🤣 it's already that lol 🤣
@@WelshTiger85 i live in hafodyrynys. it's an absolute nightmare trying to pull out on to the hill. the traffic noise is dreadful, the dust and soot is even worse.
I hope they remove all the inner doors and mantles from the place before leveling it. I wish I had the doors for my place I am fixing up.
Trampolines & Swings for Jess!😊...those poor families!...so sad that the busy Roadway ruined their Homes...Could almost imagine the little kids floating Toy Boats down that River!...Good Explore!,Sam&Jess!...🥰
Glad you enjoyed it Barb 🥰🙏🏼 Thank you for watching ❤️
I would be interested in seeing an update to this video when it’s all demolished and finished great explor as always
Great idea! Will keep an eye out for this place.
Thank you for the suggestion & for watching! 🙏🏼
All the house's are knocked down know ,I drove past there on Sunday ,my auntie,great aunt and my great grandmother lived there ,the house's are three story ,spent load's of time playing in those woods and down by the brook ,the house's and my relatives are long gone .
I live in this area, it's a shame you didn't check out the abandoned Crumlin navigation colliery two mins away from these property's. These houses where probably old mining houses
That place looks awesome, I remember driving past it now, will have to pay a visit one day
Thank you for watching!
It would be horrible to have someone hit a patch of ice in winter and drive through your livingroom 😳🥺
Another fantastic video guys, iv never herd of full streets being abandoned like that before, its a real eye opener when we think where having a bad day, those poor familys had it far far worse
If this is what we call progress in 2021, I can sum up our future in four words "we are rightly fucked"
You've hit the nail on on head there !
People are having items delivered one by one instead of a weekly shop generating yet more traffic, with corner shops you didn't need a car and you took your own containers, not all this plastic wrapping, bottle crap.
@@marklittler784 You have that in a nut shell. Thanks.
Sadly the world I grew up in…no longer exists 🥺
@@sherryrunslate9678 Yeah you used to get money back on your returns.
Hi Sam and Jess, I can't believe the contrast between the front which is noisy and polluted and the back which is beautiful and serene. That was a great explore. I wonder if the residents had health issues. Sending love from Australia.
It’s crazy isn’t it! 😥 Such a shame!!
Thanks for watching Gaye 🥰❤️
@@Samandjessexplore what street is this
Dear Sam and Jess-just tripped onto your channel recently and I’m really enjoying it. Your laid back, easy going vibe is very cool, and your choice of places is very interesting. And the fact that animals naturally come to Jess says everything about her character-animals naturally recognize an open, loving heart and a “safe” human to be near. Now, a bit of serious motherly-as well as medical-advice-get yourselves respirators! The mold spores, bacteria, pollution, aerosolized bird and bug, um, feces, that you breathe in can really do a number on your lungs, resulting in lifelong problems. Yes, they’re restrictive and a pain in the neck but so are chronic lung conditions and systemic illnesses… Please keep doing what you’re doing, though-you do it so well and really provide some pleasant armchair exploring for those of us very far away (Fairfax, Virginia actually, just outside of Washington, DC) who would not otherwise get to see these places, let alone even know about them. Thank you for posting your great videos. Stay safe. 🐾
Wicked one Sam and Jess. A huge site to cover and so sad. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Loved it ...i think Jess is like me an animal empath I have stray animals follow me birds as well I'm switched on to nature an happy in the wild lol .animals trust her like me and you have to save every animal .I cannot watch rspca adverts or any thing to do with animals abused I'm physically sick and emotional it can be very over whelming .I can tell that she's connected .much love to you both 💖
That’s awesome Wendy, the more of us out there the better 🥰 Love to you from us both ❤️🙏🏼
Whew! My brain felt exhausted after listening to the nonstop traffic for almost an hour. Homes are way too close to such a busy street. It's terrible! So happy the owners were able to escape that deathtrap.
It's sad to see. I am sure they were beautiful before the road became so bad. It looked like it would have been a picture perfect place to live years ago.
We agree Ellissa! Such a shame 😔
I second that n what a great explor Sam n jess jess is just like my second oldest daughter with animals she can never see an injured animal n just walk away she has to take it home n try to help it back to full health
This was great guys. I’ve just subscribed! This must have been such a lovely community to live in at one time 😢🦋 Thanks for sharing 🥰
I could only imagine how amazing that river looked in 1600 hundreds. Way Before industrialists created that neighborhood or everything else around it.
It's not a river, it's a stream that comes from the mountains. Sometimes though it flows like a river.
It’s so nostalgic and sad, to see people’s homes left like this. It might be very beautiful and nice back in the day when families lived there
Not seen you both since you were hanging around with Matt, that was until this randomly popped into my feed today. I have to say this is some high quality production, you guys have come a long way! Subbed for more!
So sad just like the old pit buildings just down the road from there.
I drove past these this week and wondered what they are like inside I was on my way to Ebbw Vale to see my parents. That street is the main road to Cwmbran and Newport. Glad you documented the houses well done guys.
It’s a real shame 😔 Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching!
Enjoyed seeing this place, loved seeing the contrast between the polluted road and the beautiful valley behind. Burnham on sea 'represent' great explore guys!
Glad you enjoyed it David! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
I’m assuming when this row of houses were built that that road wasn’t as wide. But I can imagine the noise from traffic was horrendous. They did a he residents a favor by getting them out of there
when you havent anything you live anywhere.
@Driftwannabe 10 why abandoned it now if it was worse in the 80s? Surely cars are getting cleaner
WOW!!! Sam & Jess I loved this adventure with you!!! What stories each of these homes tell of the families who lived in them & whom were in each! Some had children, as evidenced by the toys, swing set, trampoline & fencing, protecting them from entering the creek! Others had beautiful cabinets, stained banisters & more mature feelings! I feel sooo very sorry for them having to live in, breath & sleep in those exhaust fumes everyday!!! I loved that some had darling sunrooms added onto their homes!
In the beginning, I’m sure that these were lovely places, with nice back yards & a beautiful creek running behind the homes! Jess, I love the way that Sam is always looking out for you & complementing you! You can tell that he truly cares👍🙏❤️ Thank you both for sharing this wonderful adventure! You make the sweetest couple!!!🙏👍❤️❤️
Jess is naturally gorgeous as always.
What a shame! Those houses were beautiful and the backyard leading to the brook, Wow. To bad people put trash back there. Great job again! Thank you for sharing!!
So true! A real shame. Hope they clear that out when the houses are demolished.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 😃
Crazy eh got just the place for you guys to explore in Scotland an abandoned estate it’s big 👍
That is soo sad. And crazy at the same time LOVE you both. Great stuff
Glad you enjoyed it Shaun ☺️ Thank you for watching! Love from us both 🙏🏼
What wonderful place and what a waste of house space , animals are attracted to people who have a higher energy level. Animals notice this and they are drawn to it.
We lived for years in a very similar house to these, indeed an old miner's cottage. But the garden leading down to the stream must have been wonderful. Shame on the authorities making people leave instead of changing the traffic!
Re-routing a road would cost a far to much money and be far worse for the environment than levelling some houses and moving some people on
Hi Guy's
What a great explore shame it told of a sad situation for the families who lived in the abandoned houses...
Well done to you 🙌🙌xxx
Glad you enjoyed it Carolyn 🥰 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Brilliant explore both, really enjoyed watching you both great explorers, you show every little details of things not just rushing passed things... I like that.....
Just imagine being that house where that metal storm drain was clicking every time a car went over it 3:50 that would literally put me an insane asylum.
Actually you would get use to the noise pretty quick, it would blend in to life. Then you wouldn't notice. I have a coo coo clock & I don't even notice it any more.
I have a railway 20ft from my bedrooms and living rooms never hear them
Manchester council are expanding the airport, next to one of the largest housing estates in europe, not too worry the taxis are going to be electric in a few years anď they've planted a couple of dozen trees on the estate.
The private houses are going to be worth a fortune. Once every one gets over the shock and the houses are double/triple glazed as the air port gets bigger they need more people, more people mean a need for more housing Result very expensive houses. It happened in Staines near London Airport.
That road noise would drive me crazy.. I would fear some of the children might fall into that river if they lost their footing.. I guess I was a worry wart mom…
No I've just written a similar comment
Houses right next to busier roads around and in London are worth £Millions it's crazy why anyone would want to live in the pollution in London.
Another good video guys!
And i believe Jess has an angelic aura to her...and animals can somehow sense this.
Another awesome explore! So sad for the families that lived there, you would think the developers would have figured the problem out before building these homes.
I lived next to a 110km/h rated highway for a few years up until last year. Not this close, but a big parking area inbetween. The balcony was pretty much unusable (unless wearing hearing protection), and the windows are triple insulated to keep out the noise. I can very much imagine what these families must've been suffered living here, the constant motor noise and smell.
It’s just terrible! Glad to hear you have relocated since. 🙏🏼
It's a stream that probably eventually meets up with a river. Residential areas such as this one should have had a one way traffic system and maybe the pollution wouldn't have been so extreme as to warrant the tenants to have to be moved out of the area. With housing crisis across the country being severe it,s a disgrace to demolished perfectly habitable houses.
It’s terrible 😖 Such a waste.
Beautiful and serene place to live, ruined by modern traffic and pollution. Oh well. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! I love all the subtle differences to each garden and house. I would love to know some more stories from the families who lived here.
Mental the difference from the front to back of house! Almost beauty and beast like with the huge back garden and river ect! Great explore! Love the vids! ❤️
The irony when you got in the car at the end...
Sitting watching this and all I can do it imagine how great it would be to stay there. The Backgardens are amazing with the stream. If I stayed there it would have broken my heart to be forced to move.
Good stuff guys👍🏻 cheers & BIG RESPECT 👍🏻😎👊🏻💚
I explored the house at the top back in 2019 before the whole street became abandoned. Good video 👍
Wow thats crazy!! Wonder how long they will remain here now!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching 😃
I live a couple of villages away. Have travelled this road many of times and it's always so so busy. The amount of times I've been past and never knew the size of the gardens or what they are like! Actually wondered this recently! Lol Thankyou for sharing! X
Hi Jess & sam
Just joined your changes absolutely love it ! Such a shame when so many people need shelter! 👍
This would be a nice place to live if it wasn't for the road.
We agree Patricia! Such a shame 😣
@@Samandjessexplore please come back and do a follow up when the houses are demolished. There is also a local legend of a ghost woman who haunts the area around the blue lagoon. She has led many a traveller astray and supposedly caused them to crash their cars on the mountain road.
@@nanof6angels what’s her name?
@@emilian7052 juan white. she has been seen by quite a few people apparently.
Love you 2. Brilliant treating peoples property the right way. Bless you both.
Glad you enjoy the videos Michelle ☺️ Thank you for watching 🙏🏼❤️
Very interesting, and rather sad in many ways. Thank you for making this.
Wow so sad I think I would of slept in a tent listening to the mini waterfall if no pollution. Loved the princess bedroom and yes I can just see Sam doing your bedroom out all princess theme now lol
The two houses with twisted cables and black tape look like they definitely had a grow going on 😂😂and you smelled weed to Sam 😂👌good explore 👍
So sad, such a shame for all the families who have had to leave.
Fascinating. I can imagine what it must have been like with the lovely trees, brook, and multidimensional terraces in the back for patios, gardening and play areas. It would have been a beautiful area before the highway was expanded. The bathroom in-between the two bedrooms are called 'Jack & Jill' bathrooms. (at least in the States). They have a door on either side that can be locked when used. Great explore!
This is really sad. I bet the river is polluted as well. Nice explore. Stay safe xx
Glad you enjoyed it Amy ☺️ Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@Samandjessexplore your welcome. I always enjoy your explores ❤
Interesting Video and so sad to see such a beautiful Row of Houses being abandoned and looks so Picturesque with that Beautiful River or Stream out at the back, surely it would have made much more sense to Re Route that Traffic, absolutely mind boggling what goes on through the minds of these Councils now as so many properties lie abandoned such a waste, especially given the Housing Situation throughout the UK
Watched this last night & woke up to newsreader saying they were BEING DEMOLISHED TODAY 14/10/2021 :( ...Love all your explores and adventures & you represent my ultimate relationship goals! Love you both & just subscribed to your channel, watched for ages & slightly addicted :) x
Total of 14 weeks as it’s done carefully to ensure the road can remain open
Wow what a place. Quite disturbing. If they so toxic why r they Thea. How's this gd for surrounding people. Hope that lovely looking stream isn't contaminated. I'm quit shocked. The people there really ought to do somthing ASAP bout this for their own health. Great vid as always 😊
I enjoyed the video very much you both did a great job. I'm filled with envy that you get explore. Jess when I first started watching your videos I knew you had something special about you. Animals seem to find me too. I'm feeding stray and feral cats. I tried to cuddle a feral cat and it ripped my palms open, she has such a sweet looking face too LOL I'm trying to tame her kittens 3 out of five like to cuddle. Opps sorry rambling. Great Video. lots of love Blessed be
Glad you enjoyed it Jackie 🥰🙏🏼 The more of us the better ❤️ Thank you for watching, love from us both! ☺️
Mad content like always mate, creepy stuff, can’t wait to see more. Cheers 👍🏻
Black collar project 👻
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!
You both are amazing lovely people I enjoy watching you very much, a big thank you, very interesting tour. Hugs x :)
This was a great explore but very sad as well. Hopefully there were no repercussions for anyone that lives there physically. What happens to the people that had to leave? Did the government provide new housing? Thanks for pushing through and showing us these homes. ((Hugs))
Glad you enjoyed it Shelley ☺️ Yes the government paid them off and the residents where rehoused!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
This was like Sam and jess do through the keyhole 🤣 who lives in a house like this! Loved it
Hi Sam and jess just to give you a update on this street it has all been demolished now totally gone you wouldn't know it was there so gutted I mist you guys I live on the over looking that street love your content you pair are awesome
Great episode! Always such positive energy on here!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Hey Sam and jess came across your vid and really enjoyed....you have a new subscriber 👍❤
Glad you enjoyed it Maureen 🥰 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼 Appreciate the sub!!❤️
Can't wait to see this! 🙌
Enjoyed that, very interesting. Looks like a great place to live if it wasn't for the pollution and main road.
Yes its such a shame 😔 Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Love, love, love you both!
Love from us both Lisa 🥰🙏🏼
traveled through here for years never new how nice it was at the back must have looked great in the summer.
I live in a pulluted part of California. There is an upside though, we can see what we are breathing in LOL Very often in the summer it gets so bad we can't see the mountains because the smog is so thick :(
So sad 😥😥😥
Its a shame this happened they looked like pretty awesome homes
It really is 😪 For those who had lived here for many years it must have been very sad! A waste of houses.
Great video! 🙌🏼 I’m a new subscriber!
Keep it up guys! 👍🏼
Glad to have you on the channel Shirley ☺️ Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼🥰
you should see that street at rush hour it's insane the amount of traffic. Great explore , I'm from that town and never thought to do this 👍
I live in Queensland. Australia and this was sad seeing this
I had a good laugh on that last video brilliant sorry I missed it when you was live there but good work Jess and Sam.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 😃🙏🏼
I was trying to work out Sams accent ? Sounds local to me. Then he made a comment about B O S. And I knew it 😂. Great vid my friend shared it to me and I’m so pleased. I really enjoyed it thanks 🙏
🤣 Glad you enjoyed it 😁 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
“Just outside of central london” then later on the news clip “Wales’ most polluted street” 🥴
Well London is getting bigger by the day.
"Most polluted st outside of London"...if you're gonna criticize, get your facts right.
@@stevelomas4119 I wasn’t criticising salty chill out fan boy
@@stevelomas4119 now now children behave yourselves
We said ‘outside of central London’ rather than ‘just outside of central London’.
It’s the most polluted street that isn’t within London city, that’s what we mean by this! 😃
Enjoyed watching your video ,its a shame that our environment is so polluted now ,it must have been a lovely place at one time
What a great video and at the same time 😥😔. Take care Sam and Jess
Glad you enjoyed it Denise, thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏼 You too ❤️
What a shame. Nice explore though. Should do another “after” video. Be safe. Blessed Be ✨😊
Looks so similar to where I live, my house is set alot further back from the road, we even have a stream out the back of our gardens, this is nowhere near us though as we are in the afan valley and I love it here 💕
I know this isn't relevant to your video but upon seeing the dream catcher hanging in your car I had to comment because I have a really big dream catcher as well as a hanging Hamsa & Ganesha pendant. Can't forget my crystals, I have several of them in my car lol! Now for the video, we have several roads like this in the US but there's no fuel or exhaust smell in the air so I wonder what's makes the difference?
I think it is the canyon effect. There is no air circulation and particles just stay and fall. The pollution cannot disperse.
That’s awesome Tricia 🥰 Thank you for watching ☺️
Yes as Ben says its supposedly due to this ‘canyon effect’. Such a shame 😔
Great one again guys.
Thank you Billy ☺️🙏🏼
I recognise that street, one of those houses was for sale when my sister lived the other side of the valley maybe 20 years ago. Move the people, not the traffic 😟
I love abandonded stuff, i came to this siite doing research for photography, most is not suitable for my portfolio but now im just interested despite it not being right for my portfolio, thanks.
Thank you for watching 😄 Glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck with your portfolio! 😃
@@Samandjessexplore thankyou ! great channel.
I live 10 minutes from these houses go past them daily, the houses are no longer there as they have been taken down, love the videos from Wales, all your videos are brilliant
Superb video really interesting 👌wonder if houses still there n what will replace them
Thank You for Your video ! Watching from the USA.
Its only been empty a couple of months local council bought them to demolish for a better wider road. The pollution isn't as bad as they make out. Biggest issue its a bottle neck so traffic builds up at peak times, hence a new road going in. I don't reckon 21000 cars use it a day either, certainly not now anyway. Most go to M4 via the alternative route.
