In the late 1980s a man called Ron Tod fixed up a dilapidated old house in Vauxhall with the view to selling it and sending all the money to Bluefields in Nicaragua.

Below is some of the media coverage about the house, and this article sums up why Tod did it and all the help he got to make it happen.
The house was eventually sold and the money use to fund building projects in Bluefield’s on the Atlantic Coast.
