The smallest house in Great Britain can be found at the end of a terrace of houses on quayside at Conwy. It measures just 72 inches wide by 122 inches high and was occupied right up until 1900. Richard Jones was the last person to live in the house. He was a local fisherman who happened to be 6ft 3in! Although the house might be small, it was still a practical living space. There is just enough room for a single bed, a fireplace, and a coal bunker.
