Social commentary: In Wales, like many other parts of the UK, there is a chronic lack of housing, let alone housing that's affordable to first-time buyers (and many second or third timers, too!) So, why on earth are there literally thousands of derelict buildings like this, which could so easily be rebuilt in traditional materials? I could never understand it. It could regenerate a rural economy. But, no, we prefer new developments on greenbelt land. A truly silly country. Still, I guess the farmer will wake up one day and sell it for about £650,000 to a city broker as a weekend getaway. Bargain (!)
