More about this scene

When the ice retreated after the last Ice Age, deposits of boulder clay were deposited along the east coast. With no hard bedrock, this area is suffering from coastal erosion which is measurable in metres per year. It is a major ecological problem, and one that can only be solved by literally dumping thousands of tons of rock on to the beach.

1954-55 we used to stay in a Wooden Bungalow on the cliff top, it was called Bay View and there was also a small, (Tiny) chalet in the front garden . At that time , the cliff edge was possibly 15 metres or so from the bungalow and there were steps cut into the cliff face to get down to the sands below.
