The lovely Smuggler's Haven tea room (sold recently) has lost its car park and toilet block overnight during a major landslip that's also caused the evacuation of twenty homes.
Thankfully no-one appears to have been harmed and although gardens have been lost the properties appear intact for now. So sad for people living here: we hope the situation stabilises in this notoriously unstable area directly above what is aptly name The Landslip.
Leeson Road, the major route out of the Undercliff to Shanklin, has been closed, and is likely to remain so for a while. The edge of this dramatically expanded landslip is now just a few metres from the carriageway.
To top it off, Southern Water has caused the closure of another of the major routes out of Ventnor this afternoon (11th), so there's now only one way in and out of the Undercliff, via Whitwell.
In other news, my poor van sits only about 800m from the edge of this landslip. My current plan is to keep it taxes, insured and parked on the road where I'll live in it over winter. I'll save for a new van and get one next spring...
