It's ironic that H.P. Lovecraft's fictional city of Dunwich is more famous internationally than the original. It's very likely he swiped its name. But I'm sure "The Dunwich Harbour" would've been a very different tale than what he actually wrote.

But self defence is a crime so sayith the police here. Can't wait to move back home when I can. Kind of. Americans have their own problems but better than here.

There are many sites of pre-historic cities on the continental shelves of the world. Doggerland was between today’s British isles and Scandinavia, flooded after the last ice age. There were many such early settlements flooded which is why The Flood is in many ancient legends of most civilizations to leave records or have myths mentioned from before recorded times. The summarians included it in the oldest written records on earth.

Hearing you say "net full of cod" as you referred to Doggerland was a rather poignant statement for me. As a Newfoundlander, from the easternmost province of Canada, nets full of cod were once so commonplace that folks assumed it would go on forever. In recent years we are lucky to have cod fisheries opened for recreational fishing. Our once plentiful cod stocks are quite reduced. Unlike places like Dunwich, the loss of a way of life we have suffered is largely down to politicians giving away access to our fish stocks or at minimum not fighting to retain those stocks. Dunwich could do nothing to avert its faith and did nothing to prompt it. So tragic.

[@philtorrez4198]

Cape Cod got it’s name because apparently the cod used to be so plentiful that you could, “walk across the water.” Humanity has left behind tragic situations in once thriving ecosystems. The most tragic thing, it doesn’t have to be that way.

[@ericanelson1973]

The power of water can be terrifying! I live near a neighborhood that subsided into the bay after people had been pumping water out from beneath the soil for everyday use over a few generations. You can still see the roofs of the houses just under the surface of the water, and a couple of roofs still protruding above the water. The water below those homes was supporting them, and when that water was removed, the water around them was able to invade them.

Reminds me of the Oregon coast.

The home owners can't sell their homes because nobody will buy them, so they're holding out as long as possible. There are others that are located directly above caves that undermine parts of the coastal areas. I doubt they'll have any luck selling their homes, either, if they decide to leave.

Good video, I used to live in Aldeburgh (or Aldborough as it was on the old maps) and it also suffered a similar fate to its shipbuilding industry as the Orford Ness spit grew across the river, cutting off the industry that once built the Golden Hind for Francis Drake, fortunately for Aldeburgh it was able to make up its losses through fishing and eventually tourism but it still has problems with flooding and erosion, the small village of Slaughden immediately to the south of Aldeburgh was eaten by the sea around the same time as All Saints church went down in Dunwich, with the landlord of the last pub sometimes having the open the front and back doors to let the sea go through. These days there's concern that at some point the marsh to the north of Aldeburgh will be reached if the Alde river breaches significantly and basically turns the older part of Aldeburgh into an island, which will significantly improve the traffic problems in the summer let me tell you. Another interesting place to look at is Fairbourne in Wales, it's a town of around a thousand people at the moment, but has been designated as being abandoned as part of the 'managed retreat' strategy of coastal erosion which means at some point within the next twenty to sixty years the place will be unsuitable for living in. I bet you that house prices are still through the roof though.

The big problem with Dunwich is that it was built on sandstone so soft you can dig out a hole with your finger.

It's not even sandstone. In Suffolk, there are NO solid bedrocks - it's all glacial deposits, clay, gravel, sand, that sort of thing, and a layer made entirely of fossil shells, known as 'Red Crag'.

All around Blackpool. Singleton Thorpe, Wadham Thorpe and Kilgrimol. All swept away one night in around Sept 1555 by either a tsunami or a storm surge. No one survived in Wadham or Kilgrimol, but four survived in Singleton Thorpe by being away trading inland. Divers here occasionally find the remains, as visibility is better and at a neap tide in Feb or March, where the tide goes further out than normal, you can walk out along the cobbled road that used to go to the village. Also the few remaining fishermen at nearby Fleetwood, won't venture out, if they think they hear the bells of Singleton Thorpe church tolling slowly under the waves. Spooky. Cheers for reading.

It is quite true!!! Medieval Dunwich was so much like Liverpool! A rarely mentioned fact concerning Dunwich is that, just like Liverpool, there was in that very town a "foursome of minstrels" all with matching page-hairstyles that reportedly "tooketh the whole state by storm" with hits such as: Wage Canst Buyeth me Loveth Twisteth and Shouteth Thy Lady Loveth Thee I Wanteth to Holdeth thy Handeth .. and many, many more!

Another very interesting video. I am from Great Yarmouth just a few miles up the coast. Little secret about the deserted Eccles on Sea; it isn't. I drove their at work as we do a fair bit of driving and often look for places to explore. Saw a sign saying Eccles on Sea and followed it, it really was undefinable and was literally like a small town forgotten by time, with houses with long porches, kind of a rectangle grid shape, no tarmac on the roads but an interesting little town for sure. Best I go for a beach walk along there. Thoughty2 you are my main teacher, I watched dozens of your videos and you always create intuitive, thought invoking videos that share the most valuable commodity we possess, knowledge.

The Al Stewart song The Coldest Winter In Memory features the line "By the lost town of Dunwich the shore was washed away They say you hear the church bells still as they toll beneath the waves" The song is about a man fighting in the Great Northern War in the 1700s.

A drastic rise in sea levels may affect the city centre and areas close to the Mersey but the majority of Liverpool is too high above sea level.

[@elastofragmentoplast9350]

@@soakupthesunman l know, but that's what it would take to have any effect on Liverpool's coastline. Don't know why Liverpool even got a mention, there's no erosion issues and it's in a sheltered position on the banks of the River Mersey.

I remember the 2013 flood, luckily my town is slightly up a river that goes to the sea but we're close enough to be a decently sized trade port so none of our land was lost but we had flooding up to 2 blocks in from the seafront, a couple of my friends had to stay elsewhere during that time as their houses were at least 2 inches deep in water on streets on a hill. I had no idea that was happening all the way down the eastern coast

Had a shock when picture of my town on the coast of Devon was shown as building sea defences. Actually Dawlish does face east, not south and is prone to similar troubles with the sea. Hence the rebuilding of our sea wall which cost millions and has only just been completed. They five it a 100 years.

One teensy thing... ‘begs the question’ does not mean ‘raises the question’, it refers to a flaw in reasoning where an argument can only be proven true if one first assumes that it’s true (I’m paraphrasing). If someone uses the ‘begs’ version, 99.99% of the time, they’re making this same mistake. Not judging, just sharing. 🙂
