Seaside town up for sale for £10m
Many people here have lived in Bantham for 60 years or more, with some tenancies being passed down through several generations of the same family
A British seaside town has gone up for sale for £10 million.
The village of Bantham in Devon, south west England, is going under the hammer along with surrounding land and together with holdings in Wales and Dorset, which all belong to Evans Estates, the whole collection is expected to fetch up to £35 million.
Barbara Tucker, a tenant of Evans Estates and manager of Bantham village shop, told the Western Morning News newspaper: ''Obviously there is huge uncertainty and anxiety in the village, with many of us worrying about whether we will lose our homes.
''We can only hope and pray that the new owners will be sympathetic to the locals. Many people here have lived in Bantham for 60 years or more, with some tenancies being passed down through several generations of the same family.''
