Sister has lived in Ventnor a few years now and about 2 weeks ago moved to new house in above area!
3.40am this morning they were evacuated.

It's teetering on the edge with main road behind it.
Pretty shocking

There was a massive area in front which went down to the famous devil's chimney steps which I guess has gone too

These walks were made popular in Victorian times that's how long they have been there.
It was a unique place sadly lost now

Yes it's sad the island is being eaten by the sea, I love the IOW,  done building work at Sandown late 90s, I remember a building being consumed at the time at Ventnor, haven't been there since 2000.

It's a known unstable area but everyone is shocked by how much is lost.
