Smaller than a room: The house you can't believe anyone lived in

A tiny red house on the riverbank in Conwy, Wales, which served as a residence for centuries, has become a tourist attraction. The house, less than two meters wide, contained two floors, a fireplace, and a bedroom. The last tenant, a fisherman 1.90 meters tall, was forced to leave in 1900 after authorities deemed the structure unfit for habitation. The house is recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest in Britain.

A tiny red house on the riverbank in the town of Conwy, Wales, less than two meters wide, served as a residence for centuries. The house, known as "the smallest house in Great Britain," measures 3.05 meters in length and 1.8 meters in width. It includes two floors: a living area and fireplace on the ground floor, and a tiny bedroom upstairs. The house was built in a narrow gap between rows of houses along the old city wall. The last tenant, Robert Jones, a local fisherman 1.90 meters tall, lived there until 1900. Due to its small size, Jones struggled to stand upright inside, and authorities declared the structure unfit for habitation. He moved to a shelter in the town. The house was saved from demolition and became an attraction in the early 20th century, after a local newspaper editor, Roger Dawson, promoted the claim that it was the smallest house in Britain. It gained recognition in the Guinness Book of Records and attracts visitors who come to see how one could live in it.
