A heart-breaking, heart-warming documentary about an iconic East Yorkshire landmark

[@junedimbleby]

i was very sorry seeing this house ,i have only lived in withernsea since 2017.but this house i have seen through my bedroom window with my binoculers .watching as the sea had eroded the cliffs .i said to my husband the last few months .that i was worried about the house . and amazed at seeing it demolished in the past few weeks .lots of love to the family x

[@timothystravels8492]

It was truly a very sad spectacle. 😒

[@TracyShaw-z6r]

Thank you so much for giving our family this video to treasure so beautifully done ,spent many happy years here with great hosts my wonderful mother and father in law Joyce and Andy duggan xx

[@pameladiamond9603]

That was beautifully put together and very emotional. What a shame for the family to see their home flattened. Joyce seems a lovely lady. Also just to mention the skill from that machine driver.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, very much appreciated. Joyce really is a fabulous lady, full of love and laughter and I'm sure we'll stay in touch from here on. Damo, the driver, really blew my mind with his skills...it was an extension of his arm!

[@theglassman3583]

A massive thank you to Joyce for taking part in this video and sharing all her wonderful memories with us, the house is gone but the memories remain, you have made a wonderful moving video, i have know this house over 50 year and had many wonderful times along the coast from boy to man and now with my children. thank you.😎

[@timothystravels8492]

You're most welcome, we feel extremely lucky to be part of it's history. 😍

[@jancrowther9385]

This lovely film made me cry, but I know it commemorates so much happiness of one family living in a wonderful place. So ultimately not a sad film, even though I couldn’t watch all the demolition. A metaphor for life

[@timothystravels8492]

It really is a roller coaster of emotions 😏

[@sheilabutton]

Glad to see your comment and know you watched this

[@mickhardstaff6605]

So sad , we will never hold back nature though . Thank you for sharing 👍

[@timothystravels8492]

Very true, my friend 😏

[@sharonduggan8292]

end of an era, but many many happy loving memories to cherish, so glad we spent time here with joyce & andy. xxxxx

[@timothystravels8492]

Wonderful to hear 🥰

[@brianwilliams9920]

Invaluable resource. A truly personal aspect of coastal erosion, thoughtfully produced. Cliff Farm was long a useful landmark, not least for geologists.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thanks Brian, we did get heavily invested in Cliff Farm and the backstory 😊😬

[@mickeytheviewmoo]

Davy, you have taken this to a different level. Absolutely outstanding production. The research is so commendable. Be very proud mate.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, my friend. 🥰 You can't imagine (or maybe you can?) how nervous I've been since it aired. I went straight to work at 4pm and didn't check how it went down till just now. Many, many hours went into it. Really appreciate your opinion buddy, you've seen the progression from the beginning. Davey 😊

[@Tony-tt3sc]

I don’t have the right words to express how emotional this video is. Your title is true, both heart-breaking and heart-warming. Definitely not just a house on the cliff. Joyce and Andy’s family home. Joyce is such a lovely person. I loved Andy’s sun shade. The ode to Joyce and Andy’s house was sung by the voice of an angel, Wing commander

[@timothystravels8492]

I'm delighted with your response...it is as I hoped. And yes, she has the voice of an angel. 😍 An interesting fact...she sang that without any pitch cue...when I compared with the original guitar part, she had sang exactly the same pitch (which happens to be 432htz)!! She's what I call 'a proper singer' 😊😍

[@UKFMH]

Oh wow, God bless the whole family, the photo at the end made a tear roll down my cheek, gone but NEVER forgotten, such precious memories 🙏

[@timothystravels8492]

I cried each time I checked the final edit. 😪

Wonderful tribute to the property and family 😊👍

Much appreciated 😊😊😊

So sad 💔 thoughts and prayers to the rest of the family,many memories to treasure xx

[@nancykitchen7343]

A very real and raw film, reflecting that nature is so powerful. Like the strength of family and love. This needs to be seen worldwide to stop us taking this planet for granted. The song makes the hairs on you neck stand up, this could be made into a popular folk song. Thank you

[@timothystravels8492]

Delighted with your response, thank you. The film has been a very important one for us, we got very involved. 🥰

[@jonathandilk5722]

Been watching your videos for a while now and you’ve excelled yourself with this heartbreaking film. Well done

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, it was the biggest project to date....very much appreciated 😊

[@Mark-ob1dh]

Well done lot of work but thanks for the effort. I don't normally comment but this deserves and like and comment. Been subscribed since July. Merry Christmas to you both. From bradford

[@timothystravels8492]

Well, we very much appreciate it. I was very nervous about the response to the film, it has been ongoing for so long, many hours editing and thinking 🤔. I'm relieved that it has had the effect I hoped for. Davey 😊 And Merry Christmas to you and yours 😁

[@nelincs.drones]

Well done ,Great story,Video

[@timothystravels8492]

Much appreciated 😁

Absolutely amazing video davey so so sad! 😢

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you kindly 😊 I cried each time I watched the final edit 😌

[@MrDaleAsmith]

Beautiful mate

[@timothystravels8492]

Cheers buddy....a lot of work went into it. 😊

[@sheilabutton]

Amazing video. So moving and emotional. Loved the song at the end.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you...it was a really emotional experience. The song was always going to be the end piece of music, and we didn't record it until just before it was released. My Wing commander has a fabulous voice 🥰

[@dawnbetts400]

Was thinking how carefully and compassionately this house was being demolished , then my heart broke when i saw the clothes still hanging in the wardrobe and again when the claw pulled them out and they hung blowing in the breeze before their last journey into the skip ,very moving video ,mother nature has a lot to answer to .

[@timothystravels8492]

I found it strangely compassionate also, the delicate way the house was dismantled. I imagined it being bulldozed. The driver, Damo, really has a talent. And yes, I found it very moving when the clothes were moved...😌

[@Catkinscat]

@@dawnbetts400 the clothes hanging from the claw really got to me as well 😔. I don’t blame the natural world for doing what it naturally does, I do think a few sea defences would have helped preserve the property for a few more years though. It all seems to come down to wether the authorities think it’s worth the financial cost of the defences to save that piece of land, and unfortunately peoples feelings are not a consideration when it comes to making those kind of decisions, it would be great if they were 🤷‍♀️

[@dawnbetts400]

@Catkinscat you have actually put into words what i was trying to say but didnt know how to put it , yes sea defences of some sort may have helped .

[@Catkinscat]

@@dawnbetts400 😊👍

[@psychokeef]

Finally got round to seeing this Davy and how sad that the home they had bought had to be demolished because of the sea erosion. It was very touching how you went through the house and mingled the old footage and the new footage together to show how it had changed over the years . Great Documentary as usual mate can’t wait to see the rest of the videos you’ve put on here since Christmas. I hope you had a great Christmas and here’s to a happy and prosperous new year to you both ❤️❤️

[@newmotorcycleguy]

I went Saturday the 21/12/24, the site was cleared and the digger still there. I wanted to look around and document it. I have done this with houses on my channel. Im glad this house got shown and will be remembered. It will be shown on maps for all time, but now people can see what it was really, like, as a home.

[@timothystravels8492]

I am really delighted we got the opportunity to do what we did. Seems so strange the instant it's gone but at least there is a good record of the wonderful place. 😊

[@timothystravels8492]

New sub....very interesting channel you have. 😊

[@newmotorcycleguy]

Thank you and welcome!! Likewise!

[@catman2007]

Excellent.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you 😊

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

How sad for the poor lady seeing her forever home being demolished, im sure anybody that buys a house in the area knows the inevitability of its future it still cannot be easy. Unfortunately this week I saw a video on KZbin of one of these urban explorers snooping around this house and the lady’s possessions. It showed a notice on the consumer unit stating that the electricity had been disconnected only the day before.

[@timothystravels8492]

To be fair, it was a great house to be explored and wouldn't blame someone for having a snoop. Joyce had collected the belongings she wanted and didn't have room for any more.

[@ChristineParkinson-ek1ll]

😅😅😅

[@stephendriscoll5138]

Great video Davy really emotional 👍

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you. The whole journey has been really emotional. We have made great friends with Joyce, a lovely lady.

[@thearthriticfossilhunter3414]

Incredibly moving. Well done for putting this video together. I moved to the area three years ago and could see Joyce's house from my bedroom window - a landmark to show where the sea was. We were told when we moved here that it would take maybe 500 years for the sea to reach our home ... not so sure now.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, it has been an extremely emotional film to work on...and am delighted to have made friends with Joyce since. The erosion does appear to be speeding up in this area so who knows? 🤔

[@antonyspence5075]

What a brilliant film guys, I stumbled on your channel tonight and watched Cliff Farm, it was so well done, I can’t wait to watch the rest of your stuff now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@timothystravels8492]

Really appreciate it 😊 Cliff Farm was our biggest project to date, I'm delighted you found us. 😊 Davey

[@alanhiscock3796]

Beautiful.

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you 😊

[@charlieboy259]

My parents had a caravan at Easington in 2001/2 and they ended up getting one at Withernsea because the site was falling into the sea at an alarming rate! Maybe one day I will go look and see at just how much the sea has claimed in that time!

[@timothystravels8492]

No doubt it will be a lot of loss...🤔😏

[@susanyates4233]

I live just outside Hornsea. Beautiful area.

[@timothystravels8492]

It really is 😊

[@ChrisEvans-sy5me]

So sad to see it demolished, what year was the property first built?

[@timothystravels8492]

Not entirely sure but some of the outbuildings had beams made from ships...pretty old!

[@patrick247two]

"Nip," says the digger. "Goodbye," says the wife. "Good work," says the viewer.

[@timothystravels8492]

"Appreciated" says the creator. 😊

[@killcar5nbike2]

How far did the house used to be from the sea. Trying to Google is just bringing up adverts for holiday cottages or places for sale

[@timothystravels8492]

Well there used to be another farm in front of it in my lifetime ....I'm 53 🫠

[@johnd8538]

Everything's temporary...Merry Christmas 🎅🌲🍺

We arrive with nothing, we leave with nothing. 😊 All the best 😉

Truly heartbreaking, That house witnessed love and heard laughter, very poinant picture phasing and hearing Joyce talk as you went through each room with different memories echoed along the way. What made it beautiful made it vulnerable in the end I suppose. Very moving . Sending Love to Joyce, what a wonderful lady ❤❤

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you for the wonderful description of how the film made you feel. It did for us also and Joyce is indeed a wonderful lady 🥰
