Inside the 'eerie' village on proposed HS2 line where mansions lie empty
This is a peak inside the ‘eerie’ millionaire’s row on the proposed HS2 line where mansions lie empty after homeowners sold up - for nothing.
Whitmore Heath in Staffordshire has become a ghost town after HS2 purchased 35 properties in the rural hamlet - where the average property price was £600,000.
The homes were compulsorily purchased by the Government, as the train line was due to pass underneath several multi million-pound mansions in the area.
