The town of Happisburgh, Norfolk may not synonymous with many things, but it could stop existing in two decades time

That’s because the coastal town is on the edge of a cliff, that is slowly sinking away into the North Sea.

The organisation, One Home, identified 21 at-risk communities using Environment Agency data.

The group’s research has been released on the 70th anniversary of the North Sea floods, when 307 people were killed on the east coast – including 100 in Norfolk – when a storm surge broke through coastal defences.
