@caitlinrgreen beautiful map! Intrigued by small spur on Lincs coast opposite Spurn - no trace of that now, afaik (?)
@CatherineEsse Headland at Cleethorpes? Had cliffs etc! See http://www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/cleethorpes-coastal-erosion-what-might-have-been … & http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/06/prehistoric-evolution-lincolnshire-coastline.html …pic.twitter.com/cQ46LcqF2Z
@caitlinrgreen yes, could be further erosion of glacial till; or perhaps lost sand/shingle bar; coast's all very transient round there! :)
@CatherineEsse Indeed! Here's a 17thC account of the erosion there :)pic.twitter.com/GUVkgL05ta
@caitlinrgreen also, the C17th account read v similar to some of Till cliff erosion in N Norfolk nr Cromer: lost churches, villages etc :)
@CatherineEsse Yes, the whole coast is somewhat unstable, it seems! Cf. also Dunwich, in the news recently!
