A view of the landslip 27th September 1927, at Bank Top, Loftus (viewed from Liverton Mines); this postcard view was produced by A. E. Graham, Publisher, Redcar. It unceremoniously dumped this building into ’The Narrows’ and caused the premature demise of others! This occurred long before the more recent and memorable events, which forced road closures and diverted traffic. The underlying strata is boulder-clay, which holds a phenomenal amount of water – before collapsing along shear-planes, like this!
Any further views of this event would be welcomed.
