'My village is sliding into the sea – and my house could be gone by Christmas'
- 5 months ago
A heartbroken mum fears her cliff-top home may fall into the sea by Christmas - after 26ft (8m) of land was swept away in just a MONTH.
Nicola Bayless’s three-bed semi in Happisburgh is now less than 50ft (15m) from the cliff after storms Babet and Ciaran ravaged the Norfolk coast in the autumn.
And she worries her family’s £375,000 property may be gone by the end of December as the village teeters on the edge.
Nicola, 48, said: “We haven’t even got into winter, but as we’ve lost that much, we could be forced to leave in springtime or even before Christmas. It’s frightening.”
