Godre'r Graig: Inside the lost Welsh community wiped out by a series of landslides

Recently we reported on the plight of residents of the village of Ystalyfera who have been told to leave their homes by Neath Port Talbot Council due to a landslide.

For some people it's very much a story of history repeating itself.

More than fifty years ago much of the village of Godre'r Graig, just a few miles up the road, was abandoned for the same reason.

Local councillor Rosalyn Davies used to live in the village.

As a child, she and her family were forced to move when things became too dangerous.

A series of landslides began in the 1960s as part of Mynydd Allt-y-grug began to move.

By the end of the decade, many of the houses in Godre'r Graig had been destroyed, damaged or simply abandoned.
