This is part of the beach at Cuckmere Haven in Sussex on the south coast of England. The 'Buttress' on the right was built as an attempt to stop the sea washing away any more of the cliff face and remaining sea wall. Many argue that nature should be allowed to take it's course but just out of shot to the right of this picture are three old and very famous coast guard houses that have been filmed and photographed so many times over the years. There is very little between them and the sea so the concrete defense you see here is imperative to their survival and to those who still live in the houses. Yes...they are still occupied. On stormy nights it mus be terrifying to be living in those dwellings!
