Greensplat

Greensplat (believed to come from "Green's Plat", in reference to a mine shaft nearby that was known as "the Plat") was a small village in Cornwall in England, UK. Greensplat (sometimes spelled "Greensplatt") was reduced to the status of Hamlet when the village's Methodist chapel was demolished. The chapel, which was ajoined by a Sunday school, closed in 1997. Due to expansion of the nearby Wheal Martyn china clay quarry, there is now only one cottage in the village - written on the building in red spray paint are the words "Kenwyn Do Not Demolish", Kenwyn being the house's name. The demolition of all but one of the houses in the village has been controversial but surprisingly news of its destruction does not appear to have been wide spread.
