In todays explore we visit a street where many houses have become abandoned due to unstable ground beneath.
The houses have huge cracks in the brickwork and are slowly crumbling away.
Although partly inhabited, the Undercliff is an area prone to landslips and subsidence, with accompanying loss of property over time.

When you hear and see on the TV about these houses falling into the sea you think aww poor people. But then when you actually take us into the said houses its heartbreaking to see how beautiful the houses are and how happy people must of been living there and so harshly taken away from them. Thanks for sharing....its so sad xx

I feel so sad for all those people who had to just get up and leave, must've been horrible having to leave their really lovely houses behind in these circumstances, can't imagine it. Such an interesting video tho guys, fascinating to see whats left behind!
Looking at news articles for the local area, it appears that the major landslip happened just to the left of the of first bungalow you went in, and the road cracked open directly in front of the bungalow - it happened on the 12th February 2014, and the army was called in on the 16th to help evacuate the other houses opposite the bungalow, where the road completely fell away. It looks like the severe weather and loads of rain preceding this event was to blame. But if you notice further along the road there are traffic lights which has been there for some time before 2014, where that section of road had been moved due to what looks like a landslip there as well. So the houses would have been empty since Feb 2014, thats 9 years. Looking at Google Streetview, you can see they were occupied in 2009 and in 2011, but abandoned in the later 2019 view. The second house was called Mount Lavinia - you can see the name plate on the gate on the 2009 view. The abandoned Ford Cougar is interesting though - you can see it on the drive in the 2019 view, but it shows as MOT'd until April 2019, so it was left there at least 4 years after the house was abandoned in 2014 - very odd that. Very interesting video, but confused me when you jumped to that Harbour Farm place, which I found was located some distance from the first 2 houses you looked at.

The car would of had to be used/ moved in March/ April 2018 at the very latest for it to have MOT until April 2019. So someone must of still been living there illegally until at least March/April 2018 before eventually abandoning it
Strange how they aren’t allowed to fetch their belongings and yet the houses have not been demolished to stop urban explorers and vandals from entering !

No one would stop me from going in and getting all of my stuff. It looks like it’s been empty for so long and those guys were safe in there. It’s not fell off the cliff yet so I’d definitely get all of my stuff unless they just didn’t want it
You find the most interesting areas and homes to explore. It's scary how dangerous it could be. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in. I think I've watched pretty much all your videos now and I don't know what I'll find next, certainly not anything nearly as interesting as your channel. Have a wonderful day!
So sad to see these houses with such fabulous views of the channel now deserted and with so much left inside and even a car parked outside 😢 Must have been terrible for their owners having to leave. Let’s hope the work continues to shore up defences around the island to keep that area safe 🤞 Brave of you to explore but great video - thanks to Edd and Ned too 👍👍👍

There's not a lot you can do about it. It's not safe for anyone to go in there and that includes demolition of the place. So the safest thing is to let fall down bit by bit and remove whatever falls down below, its not ideal for the environment, but it's the safest. The explorers are taking a huge risk going inside these properties. Any further construction near coasts likely to erode should be banned. The people that lived in these houses left most of their things behind which proves how dangerous it.
Love the talking during the video, makes it really chill and enjoyable to watch! New sub! Love from Dublin 👏🏻🕺🏻

The Norfolk coast where the houses are pretty much gone is a tragedy. Imagine buying your dream home right next to the sea & then several years later you have to abandon it. Heartbreaking 💔

Hi Guys! Thankyou for such a fab video on the IOW. A beautiful Island:-) A place close to my heart My Grandmother / Grandmother were born in Freshwater many, many moons ago. A lot of my ancestry are buried in Freshwater Church Yard. It is so sad to see so many homes having to be abandoned due to the cliffs subsidence. It's happening in quite a few areas these days. It seems to be more frequent which is concerning. The families that have been left traumatised in having to leave their home behind💔😥 So sad. Keep Safe & Well when exploring these places. You do a fantastic job but don't forget your SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT TOO!!!!❤️

Think there was an episode in Canada where several custom homes (new) were also,falling in. New construction very sad
That's a shame that these beautiful seaside houses are slowly going into the ocean my Dad was going to buy a house that was in Pacifica California but instead bought a house more inland. The house is well known in Pacifica from slow crumbling if the cliff it was built on
I just wish that land developers would take more care in the locations that they build in. Ill bet that the owners that bought these places were unaware of the unstable ground. I fear that in the near future that all the expensive homes in Pacifica near San Fransciso California will meet the same fate . Its been coming for a long time
Sad to see the abandoned houses,it must of been very traumatic for the people that lived there.
They could stabilise the land by inserting sheeters into the ground. However, the costs are what stops them doing it.
Another brilliant one. There's some moneys worth there that's being reclaimed by nature. 😀
The place cannot be that unsound if you lot can crash around without coming to harm. Seems a bit far from the sea, I don't think it will be falling into the sea without quite a bit of help.

The slip has screwed up the road system around there to the point that there are now even bigger traffic jams. Very little can be done (I'm led to believe) and talk of re-opening the railway to this part of town is on the cards - although the cost and difficulties are pretty horrendous too!

Where was this I wonder?
one of those farm houses might have been vintage MOD, a lot of old bunkers were near coastal cliffs, with fake farmhouses up top explaining the heavy door, oddly even tho it is cliffside looks like the drains have collapsted too, the "boathouse" looked to actually be a barn surrounded by a flood. if it was mod then the extra securty would be needed as they could collapse into the ground at any second as the tunnels below fail.

What if these houses are still here in 20 years??? Would be interesting to know the back story of these houses? Obviously falling into the sea was not imminent as it is 9 years on now, so they could have taken their property out!
