Hi Davy great video as ever of the sea erosion and it doesn’t looks so bad as the places up the coast on the google overlays. I don’t know how far you’ve gone back on the overlays but it would be interesting how much land has been lost in the last 20 plus years.great video yet again of the sea erosion can’t wait till the next one 👏👏👏👍 Ps your getting nearer to spurn point which I can’t wait to see how much land has been lost there especially the tip 👍
Cheers buddy, looking forward to Spurn myself....check out Brian's comments...he is one knowledgeable fella! Explains why there isn't much change at the moment.
"...these areas don't seem to fare as badly as further North." The working assumption is that heavy cliff erosion from Withernsea to Easington produced so much material over the last two or three decades that the sections to the south (SMP bands I and J, Easington to Neck of Spurn) have benefitted by way of additional beach protection. However, over the longer term the story is otherwise. The original village of Kilnsea ("the prettiest village in all Holderness, standing on a hill with...a noble old church") was further seaward from the present cliff line than the same cliff line is from the crossroads at the Blue Bell. Then there is the almost completed destruction of the Godwin Battery. The row of anti-tank blocks seen on the lower beach in the video - another class flight, btw - at timestamps [4:05 to 4:20], [6:16 to 6:28], mark the position of the foot of the cliffs in the 1940s. Recent erosion monitoring suggests that a period of catch-up ('equilibrium') is imminent. Monitoring profile 123 was fully lost during the storm surge of 2013 and profile 122 ceased to be capable of supplying data in 2022 (both at or close to Neck of Spurn). The last significant losses around Kilnsea were 2008, 2009 (north of) and 2016, 2017 (south of), and between Kilnsea and Spurn 2017, 2021. I'm sure there'll be more.
Fabulous stuff! Thank you Brian. Obviously I am working within a very small timeline so the bigger picture isn't as apparent. Thank you for filling in gaps.
The Google maps seem very poor quality compared to your drone footage. I can’t see much coastal erosion on this video. Great to see Birds Eye view of a fascinating village with the North Sea and Humber so close.

Read Brian's comment, he explained why it's not as bad at this moment. I learn a lot from Brian's comments. 😁
