ShtrsBttm to Birling Gap, Feb 9 2023, P1 (104)
Series of three. Birling Gap suffers from severe erosion of the soft chalk cliffs. Walkers risk their lives standing near the edge not realising the danger, despite signs. The latest landslip occurred at New Year. An old photo form 1908 shows how much erosion has happened over the years. The coastguard cottages are now down to three and used to be eight and well away from the edge. It won't be long before another is demolished.
