  • Today we went to see Britain’s’ smallest house which is situated along the mariner in Conwy which is in North Wales.
    The Smallest House in Great Britain can be found nestled in amongst a pretty row of terraced cottages overlooking a stunning harbour called Conwy Quay.
    This house is just 1.8 meters wide by 3 meters high. Despite its size, it’s split into two floors which is barely big enough to fit one person in but apparently, the residence had families living here.
    It was occupied right up until May 1900, and ever since it has been visited and marvelled at by thousands of people from around the world.
    The house was sold for £20 to Robert Jones who by complete coincidence rented it out to a fisherman also named Robert Jones who was 6 ft 3 in tall. This fisherman apparently struggled to move around the house. Eventually, the house became too cramped for him to live in, and the council evicted him in 1900s with the property deemed as unfit for human habitation. The house was subsequently transformed into a tourist attraction by descendants of the owner Robert Jones and has since been confirmed as the smallest house in Britain by the Guinness world of records.
    The house is open daily from Easter - October and you can pop inside and take a quick tour for just £1.50.
    As soon as you step beyond the curtain, you’ll get to see just how adorably this tiny residence really is
    Inside the Smallest House in Britain, is a small room on the bottom floor with just enough space for a seat which also used to act as a coal bunker for the fireplace.
    There is also a teeny stove, with a table and some crockery placed on a shelf on the back wall. Back in those days, a tiny oil lantern used to light up the room which hangs over the fireplace.
    To get upstairs, you’ll have to climb up an extremely narrow staircase that doesn’t have any railings.
    On the upper floor, there is just enough room for a single bed. Around the compact area, you’ll find a table with a washbasin, a small storage space, and some hooks to hang clothes.
