Seaside buildings are in danger of plunging off a cliff after a rock fall.
It is the latest in a series caused by erosion.
The process has gradually pushed back the crumbling cliff line threatening buildings on top.
Video showed how perilously close to the edge some of the cliff-top buildings now are.

It happened at Great Western beach, Newquay, Cornwall, famous as Britain’s surfing capital.
Local Robert Taylor told Need To Know: “The cliff top enterprises are being put at risk as the crumbling cliffs begin to undermine them.
“Despite repeated cliff face stabilisation works, the area adjacent to the repairs just disintegrates.
“There are fences to protect beachgoers from falling rocks.
“But the natural processes that created this stunning location are now threatening the businesses that benefit.
“Ultimately, stabilisation work will only be a stopgap as nature proceeds relentlessly.”
In July 2024, Cornwall Council issued a warning after a cliff fall there.
At the time, a spokesperson said: “We’ve cordoned off part of Great Western Beach in Newquay after a cliff fall.
“Please stay away from the area while we carry out inspections and make the area safe.”
