That's just the sort of thing that could have me meditating for a while, and imagining all sorts of structure that once were attached. A good read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-63663716496779783002013-11-22T17:28:21.958+00:002013-11-22T17:28:21.958+00:00To your questions, GillyK, I have to honestly answ...To your questions, GillyK, I have to honestly answer, I do not know. I can only consider what I saw, which does not apply, I am sure, to many other areas around the coast. Some erosion is unavoidable. I believe there has been some 'underpinning' on the Isle Of Wight, however, even that has had to be selective.<br /><br />The sea reclamation pictured may say more about a choice not to maintain sea defences by the owners of the properties immediately adjacent.

What happened? When did we stop doing the necessary work? and why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-67788379801099662122013-11-19T20:32:11.064+00:002013-11-19T20:32:11.064+00:00Hello Snowbird,

The South seems to be having its fair share, East Sussex, for example. About a decade ago, The Isle Of Wight lost a major chunk of Black Gang Chine. It doesn't really exist anymore.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-26482208352370832972013-11-19T19:03:46.439+00:002013-11-19T19:03:46.439+00:00What a wonderful post.
