Thanks to Tracey Simmonds for reminding us that last week saw the 20 year anniversary of a series of landslides on the Isle of Wight, most dominantly in the South of the Island around Blackgang Chine.
The Isle of Wight Archive Channel on YouTube has some fantastic videos of the area before and after the landslide, but also the news report from BBC’s News at Ten programme, as well as ITN News.
The video footage, as well as showing the extensive damage the landslide dealt to Blackgang, features the landslide at Totland.
Pop over to Isle of Archive’s channel on YouTube to watch the video.
Update: Our thanks to the OnTheWight reader from Western Australia, Gerry Lavell, who pointed out that our headline ’20 year anniversary’ was incorrect. We’ve now amended it to ’20th anniversary’.
