Holbeck Hall Landslide
Background
Where: Scarborough, UK
When: 3rd-5th June 1993
Event

A rotational slide moved almost 1 million tonnes of glacial till
70m of cliff was cut back
A 135m projector formed at the cliff base
Causes

Hotels foundations and car park prevented natural drainage
Impacts

Utilities cut off and made safe
Long Term Reaction
Reconstruction of the coastal paths
Structural work on the ground to prevent further movement
