An 18th century farmhouse left hanging perilously over a cliff edge due to coastal erosion is being demolished today (May 10). Dramatic photos show the old farmhouse at Cliff Farm in Trimingham, Norfolk being knocked down after it was left dangling over the cliff in a precarious position. The three-bedroom home was bought at auction five years ago for £132,000 but coastal erosion left the back part of the home exposed after recent landslips in April. The homeowner decided to evacuate and today North Norfolk District Council demolished the property to stop it plunging onto the beach below.
