A recently-revealed collection of before and after photographs show the shocking extent of erosion along Norfolk's coastlines.

The comparison pictures have been compiled by Stuart McPherson, a photographer from Norwich, who has been capturing the dunes at Happisburgh for about 15 years. 

One before and after shot shows a shocking amount of erosion in just under two years along Beach Road.

"I've been drawn to Happisburgh ever since I first visited way back in 2009 and have been going back regularly ever since, sometimes twice weekly," Mr McPherson said.

"The place has a mysterious draw for me as every time I visit it looks different.

"Even after being a pretend local for the best part of 14 years, the place still has the ability to surprise."

Fears over coastal erosion reached a fever pitch earlier this year when strong sea storms resulted in losses of up to four feet from the dunes in Hemsby, sparking a crisis within the community.

Marrams resident Lance Martin spent days moving his chalet away from the edge of an eroding cliff after storm conditions eroded the nearby road. 

More than four homes were demolished to prevent them from falling into the sea.

"During the golden hour in summer months and the unpredictable and dramatic weather during the winter months, it is the landscape photographer's dream," Mr McPherson added.

"There's a raw beauty to the place mixed with the tragedy of it being one of the fastest-disappearing parts of Great Britain, but it's not just the loss of land that is heartbreaking.

"It's the loss of people's homes and, more importantly, the connection to memories of the people living in the village."
