This is in today's paper. 800 thousand years ago is a very long time, it makes your brain hurt thinking about it. The footprints were found last May and are long gone now, but I'm guessing they're hoping to find some more what with all these storms? Bits of Happisburgh (Hazebrough) are always dropping off into the sea...

Blimey. It were all fields round here in them days. Oh, except they hadn't invented fields.

A lot of interesting info on this thread about uncoverings - seems to be more of this than damage? Parts of a 6000 year old forest have been uncovered at a couple of beaches in Penzance. One of them is near where I live and I had a good look at the weekend. Fascinating stuff!
