Two homes have been left dangling on a cliff edge after a recent fall.

Images show how the two coastal houses have been left in a precarious position after the cliffs slipped at Trimingham, in Norfolk.

The properties are now visible from the beach where debris, including tyres, had fallen after a chunk of the cliff came away.

Concerns over a potential cliff collapse at Trimingham had led the Ministry of Defence to move the distinctive 'golf ball' radar station inland to Neatishead last year.

A replacement facility was built eight miles from the coast at RAF Neatishead, near Hoveton – the site of a former major radar base.

In January 2020, the cliff fell at Trimingham overnight, sending tonnes of sand and silt plummeting onto the beach from the Trimingham House Caravan Park above.

Erosion has become a very common sight on the Norfolk coast with several homes also being lost in Hemsby in recent years.

Ex-soldier, Lance Martin, had to drag his Hemsby home away from a cliff edge twice to stop it falling into the sea before admitting defeat last November.

Speaking last year, Mr Martin said: "The overwhelming feeling amongst the neighbours is one of despair."

North Norfolk District Council said it has been in touch with the owners of both properties in Trimingham since the cliff fall last week.
