Before
After
Now
Whilst investigating some pictures of this village for you to look at I stumbled across some more 'Ghost Towns' from around the world - bizarre to say the least that these places have simply, for whatever reason, been deserted.
Entire seaside resorts left abandoned;
Varosha, Cyprus
deserted theme parks;
Tohoku Park, Japan
and, according to Googlemaps, a town that for all intents and purposes exists - yet doesn't... and never has! Go on... Google it, you can find all sorts of data on it, and yet it never was!
Having observed these poor, sad and lonely places I have come to realise that Padstow, although not a bustling metropolis today is, however, alive - and for that we can be grateful. No matter how quiet it gets, it is by no means a ghost town, it has life, it has blood in it's veins, it has a heart.
