Norfolk surge: Happisburgh house owner's 'stiff upper lip'

[ranworthbreeze]

A house teetering on the edge of a cliff in Norfolk following last week's tidal surge has been demolished. The house was planned to be demolished in the spring but the storms over the previous weeks has brought this forward.

It is so sad for the owner who thought the house would be standing for 25 years rather than the five years she has had in her Norfolk coastal home.

For more details please see the details and photos.

Oh dear, thats really sad, i really for those people, i can't believe how much land has gone, it's about time this government did something about it, instead of giving themselves big bonuses, they're living in another world down there. Lori Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Lori, King Canute tried to hold back the sea, without success. Hopefully the planners now take note of flood plains and coastal areas at risk and insist on appropriate designs.
