Ulrome-cliff-top chalet site July 2011

Just over six months on from our last photo Link taken at Christmas 2010 it is like this chalet home never existed, the only datum points for recognition are the warning boards to the extreme left of the photo and the distinctive fence which is still in place and was visible to the side of the chalet.

Ulrome erosion situation summer 2011

I wasn't due to visit here for my annual update till December but happened to be in the area. As predicted it is getting harder to find suitable datum points for my photos because the telegraph pole I used six months ago has disappeared, luckily the distinctive bungalow with wooden outbuilding beside it is still here (for now!) This photo taken in July, the green vegetation makes the erosion less visible but my next winter photo won't have these issues. At the present rate of cliff loss I would estimate the bungalow has less than 18 months left, all of this is very sad but you can't beat the forces of nature.

Ulrome Erosion situation summer 2011

There is no longer a road here, like there was only a couple of years back, now that has gone, it's the back gardens next. Even though the weather was quite reasonable in the first half of 2011 I was surprised to see how much more land had gone in the space of six months, the weather does determine to a large extent the actual rate of erosion here. Apparently in really bad storms, several feet can be lost in a matter of hours.

Cliff top bungalows living on borrowed time summer 2011

Looking along the row of bungalows on green lane, where it meets Mill Lane. This is summer 2011, I will be photographing the erosion devastation on a yearly basis as from today.

Ulrome erosion situation 2012

Almost exactly a year on from the last picture Link my predictions of the rate of erosion were actually incorrect. I had estimated that the crumbling cliff would have taken the boundary fence by now, if you look at the first fence panel compared with my last photo, the first panel has been moved inwards, otherwise it too would have gone over by now. In essence 2011 hasn't been a particularly bad year for Ulrome, I think mainly due to the reasonable weather we have had this year, the bad weather has a considerable effect obviously. We can only see what another year brings.

Ulrome - what a difference a year makes...

This is the site where Cliff Farm used to reside and the distinctive yellow cabin that was behind it, bordering the fence that is still visible in the background. It is like they never existed at all, but if you take a look at my 2010 photo Link taken in the same spot exactly the same time last year, things were very different...

Ulrome erosion situation, summer 2012

Because of the sheer rate of erosion in this particular area of coast I have started to visit Ulrome twice a year, once in the winter and once in the summer. I wasn't expecting to see that much erosion following my visit at Christmas time,but I was quite surprised at the changes. This distinctive black outbuilding is the focus of my photos but it is getting harder and harder to find a suitable place to stand! If you look at my other photos of this exact spot only a few years ago there was a road here which you could walk down; that is long gone,and getting this photo involved a certain amount of fence climbing.

This dark wooden building is often seen in rural areas and can be recognised as a TE by its BT warning notice and ventilation louvre(s). The K6 red telephone box is unfortunately void of any equipment and may be removed in the near future. A litter receptacle can be seen on the left of the photo.

Ulrome erosion situation, winter 2012

Here I am, once again, six months further on from last time. As I predicted the garden fence has now gone and the cliffs have receded well into the back garden of the bungalow; the concrete caravan hard-standing that was in my summer photo is roughly half missing. This last six months have been particularly bad erosion-wise.
