Happiburghs BIG Problem!
The houses on the cliff of Happiburghs
town are rapidly decreasing in value as over the years erosion has made the
land recede and the gardens of he houses along the coast have been completely
demolished.
You can literally buy the houses for a matter of pounds as the
building itself won’t be there for long!
The first picture is from when the
erosion first started to cause a problem for the neighbours and the second
picture is from 2007 where the erosion is a clear problem and a danger to
people.
These pictures are just nine years apart and it shows the shocking
natural force of erosion.
