Isle of Wight Landslide of 1928

This is actually three silent British Pathe clips spliced together with suitable soundtrack added. The first is the big landslide at Gore Cliff in 1928 that cut off the coastal road that ran from Ventnor to Blackgang filmed the day after. The road had to be relocated inland.
The second is of another subsidence at Ventnor Undercliffe in 1926 which brought traffic to a standstill, well a bus actually!
And lastly, just a bit of sightseeing in Ventnor filmed around the same time.

This was some landslip! It is surprising to learn that safety precautions appear to be almost non existent in these days. The people walking near to the edge seem to have been impervious to the danger.

Thank you for posting this most interesting film.
