Well erosion is going on all along the east coast, right from Northumberland down to Kent. Wherever you’ve got sandy cliffs you get erosion. And of course England is not getting smaller, because the sea takes from one place and dumps it somewhere else. For example if you take this coast it’s a north south drift. What’s lost from Northumberland and Yorkshire a lot of that is built up on the Lincolnshire coast, in the wash or on the top of Norfolk if you know that area. Wells-next-the-sea is now Wells-a-helluva-way from the sea, isn’t it? By a couple of miles.
