A derelict and overgrown patch of land overgrown and unused for 50 years has been put up for auction.

The small patch of scrubland on Clay Lane has been offered for auction by the Environment Agency, with a guide price of £20,000.

The fenced off section of land, which sits between houses on Thorne Road and Clay Lane, has remained unused for pretty much of the estate’s existence, since it first came into being after World War Two.
