Collapsed road, Happisburg, Norfolk. C016 / 9199
Collapsed road at Happisburg. Happisburghs sandy cliffs have been eroding since the Ice Age though man-made sea defences, below the cliffs, installed after the 1953 floods slowed the rate of erosion but have been failing since the 1980 s. The cliffs comprise layers of sand and clay which are eroded both by the sea on one side and rain water run-off from behind. During the long winter 2012-2013 the cliffs lost 20 meters in places. Happisburgh is a historic village on the north-east coast of Norfolk. Pronounced Haze-bruh", and spelt Hapesburg in the Domesday Book, the name means Haeps Town."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a collapsed road in Happisburg, Norfolk. The sandy cliffs of Happisburgh have been gradually eroding since the Ice Age, but man-made sea defences installed after the devastating floods of 1953 had managed to slow down this process. However, these defences started failing in the 1980s, leaving the cliffs vulnerable once again. The cliffs themselves consist of layers of sand and clay, which are eroded by both the relentless force of the sea on one side and rainwater runoff from behind. During the harsh winter months of 2012-2013, significant portions of these majestic cliffs crumbled away, resulting in a loss of up to 20 meters in some areas. Happisburgh is not only an idyllic village with a rich historical past but also serves as a stark reminder that nature's forces can reshape our landscapes over time. Pronounced "Haze-bruh" and spelled Hapesburg in ancient records like Domesday Book, its name translates to "Haeps Town". This thought-provoking image by David Parker from Science Photo Library showcases how erosion has taken its toll on this coastal region. It symbolizes not only the end of a road but also highlights humanity's ongoing battle against natural elements such as floods and landslips.
