Coastal Erosion

 The village of Aldbrough is about 2.5 miles from the sea but 10 years ago it would be about 3 miles from the sea and 100 years ago it was about 5 miles. The erosion seems to be happening at a greater speed than ever and you can see from the above photo that the road now comes to a dead end. but it used to go for a further half mile a few years ago. There are several cottages, holiday huts and even bungalows along this road that will slip into the sea in the next few years.
By the end of the coming winter it is highly likely that these caravans will have to be moved before they slip into the sea.
