Photos from various points along the N Norfolk coastline and details on the management strategies in place.

1. Coastal erosion and management on the north Norfolk coastline A2 coursework

4. Landuse behind Cley

5. Looking east from Cley Shingle ridge is bulldozed to maintain the barrier to protect Salthouse village

6. Looking west from Cley towards Blakney Point (coastal spit) Westerly movement of material by LSD Management conflict-managed retreat V secondary buffer ridge??

7. Looking up the beach from the shoreline Shingle ridges/berms Top of beach

8. Landuse behind Cley Managed shingle ridge Flat saltmarsh land Salthouse village

10. Looking west towards Cley Unmanaged shingle ridge

11. Looking east towards Sheringham Chalk/unconsolidated sand and glacial till cliffs Revetments had previously been laid Along the cliff but post 1998 these were removed following a storm breach and has now been left unmanaged

12. Cliff face showing evidence of slumping Under the shingle beach there is a chalk WCP Evident during storm periods Slumping

13. Sub-aerial weathering Conglomerates Unconsolidated sand Chalk with flint nodules

14. Chalk-evidence of bedding planes Wave cut notch by corrasion Cave Weybourne crag

15. Evidence of coastal management

16. Cley next the Sea Flat saltmarsh Gently dipping slopes away from the sea

17. Sub-aerial weathering Evidence of gulleying due to sub-aerial weathering through the Unconsolidated glacial till and sand deposits

18. 5 coastguard cottages approximately 10m from cliff (potential interview)

20. Undefended Sheringham-looking west towards Weybourne Sheringham golf course Chalk dipping beneath sealevel Leaving glacial deposits exposed Evidence of slumping LSD now eastwards

21. Start of defences (west of Sheringham centre)-Groynes Hinged doors allow shingle movement from west to east WEST EAST

22. Sheringham West Beach Original Sea Wall not included in sea wall replacement scheme – the wider beach offered greater protection Rock Armour buried by shingle helps to prevent scouring of sea wall Sheringham town centre

23. Fishermen’s Slope – in 1986 beach level fell by 2.5 m due to scouring Sea wall from 1900 resurfaced with concrete in 1988 and entirely replaced in 1993 -4 Rock Armour and Rock groynes Narrow beach here = more erosion

24. Sheringham East Drainage pipe in cliff to Help prevent saturation of soil Drainage hole allows water to Flow onto promenade

25. Sheringham East – the end of the sea defences Cliff slumping along undefended stretch 1988 – Beach nourishment used 12000 tonnes of flints were deposited into The bays East of the ‘tank’

26. Sheringham town centre Tourist facilities

27. High value landuse in Sheringham town centre – Sea Defences hold the existing line £1.5 million spent in 1998 on replacing and repairing wooden groynes And installing rock groynes

29. West Runton has few tourist amenities; Low value; Managed retreat Short sea wall protects café and toilet block Dark band at base of cliff marks line of a tropical river which meandered East to West 600 000 yrs bp – Known as Cromer Forest Bed Many fossil remains found including the West Runton Elephant Cliffs are glacial till and prone to Slumping – results in a gentle profile

30. WCP forms rocky outcrop Erratics from Northumberland (Dolerite) and Norway (Rhomb Pomphry) found here

31. Low value landuse – agriculture and caravan park Weight of farm machinery has encouraged cliff collapse along the coast

33. Overstrand uses multiple sea defences – groynes and sea wall

34. Gabions allow water to pass through and hold back slumped material Sea Wall also provides a promenade (tourist amenity)

35. Wooden Groynes prevent LSD Sand beach means a gentle profile

36. Boulder Clay cliffs are prone to slumping Gabions hold back slumped material - A successful measure Drainage holes are found in concrete wall Bore holes sunk into ground in high risk areas to remove water

37. The old coastal path was closed off and the road diverted.

38. Wooden Revetments Flint nodules caught in gaps – reduce effectiveness of the sea defence

39. HDE and a Revetment 5ft 5 ¾ My bag! Steel girders – foundations for defence?

40. Re-curved sea wall with drainage holes

41. Coastal path – severed in 2002 due to slumping Foundations of Overstrand hotel

42. Vegetated area suggests no recent slumping

43. Former cliff line Foundations

45. Slope was regraded after a loss of 100,000 tonnes of material in 1994 Lack of vegetation Drainage channels

46. Rock armour at base to prevent further slumping and undercutting 1995 – area excavated and layers of sand and synthetic matting, Chalk and boulder clay were used to rebuild the slope. Drainage channels, bore holes and inspection holes were installed

47. Council access road had been re - routed twice before 1994 New access road to beach for maintenance

48. View from beach up Clifton Way

49. Revetments placed infront of rock armour Access road Bungalows are here!
