This is really good work! So much is captured: fall cavity [4:12 to 4:26 and 10:10 to 10:14]; outflanking [5:39 to 5:44]; truncation under a rotational slide [09:08 to 9:37], including tumbling pieces [9:28 and 9:47]; the crenulate bay formed at Hornsea south [7:11], which makes the video a 'two for the price of one' depiction of the terminal groyne effect; and so on. Particularly effective is the sequence [7:50 to 8:45] showing wave refraction (bending) and diffraction (spreading) around the end of the Mappleton groyne. Give that drone a distinction! During WWII, there was a reasonably sized heavy anti-aircraft gun emplacement and camp at Mappleton, extending north and south of Cliff Lane, which of course continued some way seaward at the time. The present day car park (what is left of it) and rock sea defences would fill just a part of the site. In the camp were a number of Nissen huts lining the southern side of the lane, and another placed on the approach. That hut still exists. See the video 1:53 to 2:02 and 3:09 to 3:30. It is in the field west of the slope to the car park, aligned visually with the temporary toilets and a caravan.
Although the video documentation is disturbing, I have to congratulate you on the overall quality of your work. I hope some resolution can be found, although I understand that seas are rising as great glaciers melt.
@@timothystravels8492 It's well done. And disturbing to see. The incorporation of the old views can be quite powerful. There are several people who have been doing similar work, in particular of Pacifica, California. There was an effort to protect the cliffs, but I think that has stopped.
I wonder if the farmers and land owners could actually sue the council for building the groine which diverted the waves to erode their land. Great film capture of the clay falling into the sea. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏👍
Great shame the groyne did not continue along the coast. It would have slowed down the erosion a great deal, giving years of use to the farmers, on the land now washed away.
@@pippin1fuli recall reading somewhere that breakwaters are the cause, not solution, to much coastal erosion. Cant recall how but might be something about interfereing with natural deposition of sands etc.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council are actively pursuing options for a replacement car park right now. A possibility is the site of the recently demolished Maple Garage.
Blame it on the ice. What was called isostatic uplift in my 1960s schooldays. Once the downward pressure of the last ice sheets was relieved the North started to bounce back, with glacial slowness though 😅. This is tilting the south and east downward. Nature's way of resolving the north south divide.
Why did the council spend all that money on it in the first place, only to let it fall in the sea a decade or so later. Surely it would have been easier to extend the rock wall another 50 feet.
For my tuppence worth, the degree and depth of outflanking (cliff loss taking place behind the limb of the groyne as well as to its south) experienced since 1991, date of installation, has been more at Mappleton than the designers expected from the configuration. Also, £2 million doesn't go so very far when it comes to sea defences.
The rock wall should have continued but funds ran out, I expect. The Dutch could tell us all about sea defence, as they did back when they drained the Fens. Reclaimation, but that would be impossible along that stretch of coast, due to the clay cliffs being soluable. If the council had not put down that wall, a lot more land and property would not be there today.
We've just done a comparison video at Easington...I didn't go past the gas works mainly because it has the boulder protection...I assumed that stretch wouldn't have changed?
@@timothystravels8492 North of the Easington rock revetment (SMP Band G, monitoring profiles 94 to 109, 8 kilometres or a tad short of 5 miles in length) has in the last ten years been responsible for 29.8% of total East Yorkshire coastal erosion.

Fabulous knowledge....keep up the good work yourself! 🥰
Loving these videos, esp the Mappleton ones, where from sea level have seen so much change over the years..and more esp recently!
Thank you, it's a very interesting place to study 😊
thaankyou from withernsea/hull granny xx
Most welcome 😊

Very much appreciated, I do spend many hours editing. 😅

I was at Mappleton camp in 1964 and the cliffs were collapsing then. I wonder how far they extended originally.
Very far, I imagine? The speed they are going...

I wonder?
Cheers buddy 👍
It's been tried. Google 'Earle case, Cowden'. Sue (Earle) sued. Decision and summary on page 50.

Goodness, how long before the car park will have to be closed. Spent many happy walks along that beach whilst the car was parked up there.
Not long I should imagine 🫣

What surprised me, when I began this journey of discovery, is how far this clay goes inland. 🧐
What is the music that accompanied nov 5 erosion
It's my own composition, written with these vids in mind.
What do you think of it? I get a slightly anxious feel from it.

That's logical thinking!! Not allowed. 😅

I lived in Mappleton in 1981
I see my old house is long gone lol
At least you moved in time 😅
😎
😊
Those toilets will be busy when the ground moves under those cars.
Sure will...🫣
You need to have a look at the gas station at easington ...

Of course it helps! You're a wonder of knowledge 😅
