Eric,
There were still several up in the Yorkshire Dales, rather isolated, and in a lot worse condition than that. Our village here in Crete comprises about 600 houses, but I would say that probably a third of them are uninhabited and in various states of dereliction, mainly due to the Greek inheritance laws, whereby you can't disinherit your children or grandchildren except in very exceptional circumstances, such as a proven serious assault upon yourself. This results in houses with multiple owners over two or three generations, and all have to agree to sell and agree the price as well. The older generation's thinking is that once a place is sold, it has gone out of the family. So there are many places with absentee owners, and no one wants to spend money on repairs unless they can be sure of getting their money back.
The place opposite us is an example, and I could have easily sold it to some Brits earlier this year who were looking for a place to renovate in this village. But two of the owners live in the USA, we see them every other year when they come over, and they'd be happy to sell, but they are not the sole owners and the others don't want to sell. Meanwhile the folks who actually live here are pleased when someone buys an old house and renovates it as it helps to keep the village alive.
But derelict buildings are loved as subjects by artists and photographers alike.
