Living on the Edge

Norfolk, England An 18th-century cottage clings to the precipice following a dramatic cliff fall in the coastal village of Trimingham on April 8. The homeowner, who bought the property in 2019 for around $165,000, will now see the structure demolished as the saturated ground it sits on struggles to cope with increased rainfall and coastal erosion. It is thought more than 1,000 homes in the area will face a similar fate over the next 100 years.
