Inside the derelict estate dubbed 'Britain's Chernobyl'

One of the last few remaining residents of a derelict estate dubbed ‘Britain’s Chernobyl” says he won’t leave despite it being earmarked for demolition.

Marshal Craig, 70, still lives in Clune Park, which has been virtually empty for years and looks like something from a post-apocalyptic film.

Built in 1905, it is made up of 430 flats in rotting tenement buildings as well as a rundown church, all covered in graffiti and litter.
