Distraught homeowners in Hemsby write farewell messages on houses affected by coastal erosion

The demolition of five seaside houses has begun in Norfolk after coastal erosion put them at risk of collapsing on to the beach below as the cliff crumbles.

Distraught homeowners in Hemsby have written farewell messages on their houses as workers began demolishing one house on Saturday, with “gone but not forgotten” scrawled on one seafront property.
