  Perhaps the cliff-fall was a cheaper way of laying the foundations for a new T2 next door to Eastern Docks.

  Well done Paul with the pictures above. That section as shown in Post # 44 is as you say surely going to come down shortly. That is another hefty section and will have much visual impact overall. The cliffs are seriously changing shape at the moment and when that area comes down it will change even more so. Will all be very white then...just in time for the Olympics as one of the guys said earlier.

  Some excellent photos in that link.
  
  The publicity will probably bring out hundreds of tourists at the weekend, let's hope their combined weight doesn't lead to the next fall, taking them with it.

  apparently sight seers are completely ignoring the signs put up by the national trust that say " do not go too close to the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedge"

  Great photos indeed; perhaps permission could be sought to use some of them in promoting Dover, Deal and Sandwich - White Cliffs Country.
  
  Loved the photo of the Spitfire.

  Looking at the aerial shots on the link it looks as though the cliff to the right will be the next to go, as there seems to be a large crack/fissure in situe.

  Still not sure why such a fuss by the papers (short of news perhaps) - it's what chalk cliffs do !!!

  This excellent photo by Meghan Whall shows the scale of the collapse. See the figure in the foreground for scale, and he is still a long way off.... (thanks to Mandy Whall)
