Sunken

England’s sea-swept coasts were always at the mercy of the elements. Those remotest towns and villages, lying directly on the seashore, always existed on the brink. Their inhabitants never knew if the next day would see their homes and hearths swept away. That is because the coasts of southeastern England, particularly those in Yorkshire, were threatened by erosion. Because of this, many of the thriving towns that existed for centuries now no longer exist. One such town is Ravenser Odd, which boasted a lengthy history and a bustling community. But even so, it could not resist the forces of nature and ultimately vanished from the coastal view.
