Sculpture Happisburgh Beach, Norfolk Coast Photograph

Walking along the beach at Happisburgh on the Norfolk Coast, I spotted this rather odd sculpture and I’m told there are also some other constructions, usually constructed from ‘found’ objects washed up by the tide.

Happisburgh’s beach and cliffs are a sad sight given that the Norfolk Coast has been badly hit by tidal erosion for years, the effects of Global warming are becoming more apparent To date, 35 homes have been lost and sections of the clifftop road have also slipped down to the beach below.
The British government has now decided to stop investing in the seawall off the coast of Happisburgh and whilst the very active Coastal Concern Action Group is doing all it can, the future looks quite bleak for the village and its homes.
