It sure is a sobering thought K, those currently right at the edge will have to be towed away. As for the buildings, it has to demolition before they become a danger.
As a child, we had a caravan just down the coast at Withernsea. One night there was a storm and we heard what sounded like thunder and the caravan shook. Next morning we opened the door and found our caravan to be just yards from the cliff edge. About 100 feet of land along with loads of boats stored on the dryland clifftop had collapsed and fallen down to the beach. That was scary and could happen at any time along this coast. Geologically, this erosion will not stop until the coast hits bedrock - just east of York !
Hi Don, I hope your van is not too close to the edge. I am at Cowden, but quite a distance from the sea, but even here the erosion is eating away at the coastline
I remember, as a child, playing on the remains of the old concrete highway that ran down the coast in California. Similar stuff happening there/then, with chunks of it falling away into the water.
Thanks for the video Ian, it’s a real shame the erosion which is happening, peoples houses falling into the sea. Those caravans are a bit near to the edge for my liking but at least they can be moved. I don’t think I would like to sleep there in one of the storms we keep getting. I hope your caravan is further away from the edge and I hope your lady friend got to the pub in time 😀
Some of the caravans are dangerously close to the edge, they will be removed before winter. My caravan is about 400 yards from the edge, so I doubt I shall be around when that amount of land is eroded.😉 that was my neighbour Mary, yes she made it in time.
@@ruthsmith2367 No pub Ruth, she used a public loo which I reckon will disappear within three or four years. There used to be a club/pub here, but it too was lost. They rebuilt it half a mile inland, so no 🍺 for me.
Remarkable. Thanks for this update video Ian. I remember reading that there are Roman villas out in the sea, quite far out now. I suppose it just goes to show how that part of the coast is simply cursed by its geological constitution. That Yorkshire boulder clay isn’t very tide resistant, and they reckon the soil eventually gets deposited in the Netherlands. I suppose there is some comfort in Yorkshire, God’s own country, establishing a foothold on the continent.
Very true my good friend, the clay is no match for the sea. Sadly, the small hamlets are allowed to be washed away, no attempt to protect them, but to be honest, I don’t see a way they can be. The whole of East Yorkshire was part of an ancient sea back in the day, she is simply taking back what was hers in the first place.
thats so sad to see , it seems to be going just as fast at hemsby , & they've had to demolish 5 wooden houses down there , my heart really goes out to them .
Wow two articles I read say the area is losing between 2 and 4.5 meters every year. Impressive how fast the loss is. Are there some historic buildings that will need to be saved/moved?
There are no notable historic buildings under threat in this location Eric, however, dozens of villages have disappeared over the past centuries. Their names now only live on in old maps and documents.
Concrete blocks are needed or whole east coast will be under water. Who says let nature run its course do's not live there. The result of this mistake will affect the people and lives for ever, and the wild life to.
Oh mate, that’s just horrible to see, I guess they are just going to let nature take it’s course as there doesn’t seem to be any effort in putting in any sea defences, such a shame to see it gradually disappearing each year, it makes you wonder just how far back it go! 😳. Cheers. ……….Graham
Hi big bruv, the main resorts have substantial sea defences of course, it is the small hamlets between Scarborough, Bridlington and Hornsea that are being washed away. Too expensive to protect I guess. Mother Nature still rules, we mere humans only think we rule.
@@TheDiomedef16 The trouble is little bruv, it’s these little hamlets that give this coastline the character it so richly deserves, unlike the large tourist attractions of the likes of Scarborough, Bridlington et al. 😟.
Ooooooo I just soooooo luv living on the bluff mate, it’s soooo fantastic, the beautiful sea breeze and view……..oh, until my luvlely little house falls into the freaking ocean! AhahaaAaaaaa idiots! No sympathy here, it’s Darwinism at work!
It is nature and the sea constantly reshaping the coastlines of the world, the land lost here will be deposited elsewhere. Thank you for your Neanderthal comment, have a nice day.
Nature is Winning !!!
Shocking how quick it is. All those homes... gone.
Thanks for posting, Ian. Truly amazing.

It is bleak for this part of the coast, but nature will have its way, as humans we think we control everything, but we most certainly do not.
Great video mate yes getting bad there now still be back there next year with the caravan Don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍🤶🎄. I have sub

My great grandfather William would be shocked seeing all that disappearing
He would Chris, I am shocked too, and I have witnessed it for the last few years.
Look on the bright side all that extra space keeps sea levels down.
