Hemsby residents shock at speed of move

Available for over a year

It was ten years ago that people in a village near Great Yarmouth were waking up to the aftermath of storms which claimed five houses. There were the memorable pictures of the houses which slid down the cliff at Hemsby; with the waves lapping at the back walls of them. Homes, and all the memories created inside them, lost as Norfolk's crumbling coast remained undefended. A decade on and storms and high tides are forcing more residents to abandon their homes. Chris Goreham met Kevin Jordan and Margaret Parish as they prepare to leave.
