Birling Gap, East Sussex, UK. 5 April 2014. Erosion continues along the chalk cliffs, with regular rockfalls. Coastguard cottage no3 is almost gone. Commiseration to the Oaten family who had expected another 5 to 7 years holiday use but 7 years erosion in as many months has required the property to be demolished as it was being undercut. No 4 now has a newly rendered outer end wall. If erosion continues at this years rate it may also meet the same fate next Burr/Alamy Live News
