Following MD's report I just had to go and have a gander for myself. An abandoned guest house on the Norfolk Coast a sad victim of coastal erosion and the effects of the North Sea.... bloody freezing cold day too by the sea..... I may have gone a bit pic crazy as there was so much to see so I'll apologise now if the thread gets a bit pic heavy....onwards and upwards hey ho!... Here's the front elevation of Hotel Fungus nestling a mere 10 feet from a 60 foot vertical sheer drop to the beach below....

Nice one Shucky always sad to see the slow torturous decline of a building.How long before the lighthouse goes over the edge or are there plans to move it?

That's bloody good question Oldscrote... the lighthouse is actually on a much larger clif around 120 feet compared to the guest house where at one point they were losing around a metre a year....The Lighhouse was built in 1790 apparently.
 
Lovely pics asalways! Not aged too badly has it!
Oh love the arty sky too btw!
Cheers X was blowing a bloody hooly that day as well. Look foward to teaming up with you again sometime soon. Plans are in motion!;):mrgreen:

Knew someone who bought a house nearby. We all thought he was bloody mad, untill we worked out it was cheaper to buy the house and have it fall down the cliff ten years later than rent! :lol:
