해안 침식으로 60m 절벽끝에 아슬아슬하게 매달려 있는 모바일 하우스

해안선 붕괴로 2011년  이후 영국 글러모건의 배리 베일지역은  모두 비어있다.

소유주도 철수해 손을 완전히 떼버렸다.

지질학자들은 앞으로 더 많은 침식이 진행될 것이라고 경고하고 있다.

Coastal erosion leaves holiday caravans hanging perilously over 200ft cliff edge

Mobile homes in Porthkerry Leisure Park are dangling above a 200ft drop

These terrifying images show a group of holiday caravans dangling on a cliff edge above a 200ft drop.

 

The mobile homes at the Porthkerry Leisure Park, near Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan, are now being moved from the dangerous positions amid fears that a landslip may cause them to plummet to the beach below.


In 2011 owners and holidaymakers had to be evacuated after part of the cliff collapsed, causing 34,400 tonnes of rock to spill onto the beach below.

Dangling precariously

Dangling precariously: The caravans at Porthkerry Leisure Park in Barry are hanging 200ft above the beach

Precaution

Precaution: The homes were left teetering on the edge when part of the cliff collapsed in 2011, they will now be repositioned because geologists fear more of the land could fall away


One woman was nearly killed when the ground underneath her suddenly gave way.
After a detailed investigation, the caravans were repositioned in a safe location near the cliff edge. But now they will be moved back again after a geologist detected ground movement.
Site co-owner Sally Edwards said: 'It could be nothing, but we're not risking people's lives.'


Since then, warning signs have been put up on site and regular checks are undertaken by a geologist.
Ms Edwards said a 15mm (0.6in) movement in the ground was detected in the last inspection.
She said: 'There has been nothing for two and a half years, but we, as a company, feel that we are just not prepared to take any risks and so we are being proactive and shutting the road down.

 

Dangerous

Dangerous: Geologists detected land movement at the site, prompting the owners to take drastic action

 


'It could be something, it could be nothing. It could be two years, it could be 20 years, but we are not prepared to take that risk so we are
moving the caravans away from the edge and repositioning.'
Work on removing the caravans and closing down part of the site will begin today.
Ms Edwards, co-owner of the site for the last 16 years, said about £1m had been spent on monitoring and equipment.
With the latest changes, she said about 25 per cent of the leisure site park had been lost.

 

 

Aftermath
