An iconic lighthouse at Beachy Head might have to be moved for a second time, as the cliff it stands on is eroding fast.
Belle Tout is now teetering 20metres away from a 162metre drop at a cliff edge in Eastbourne, East Sussex, after a recent cliff-fall.
It needs to be relocated - and not for the first time.
The building, built in 1832, was moved in 1999, according to the Telegraph.
Engineers used 22 hydraulic jacks to move the whole building back 17metres.
Owner David Shaw bought the lighthouse with his wife in 2008, and said he wished the 1999 move had taken the building even further back.
"They could have gone the same distance again - I guess cost was a serious consideration," he told the Telegraph.
"When it's necessary to move again, it could go back the same distance again, giving it another 50 or 60 years.
"We're not in imminent danger. It's mother nature's way of telling us that she's in charge."
The cliff is eroding around 60cm a year, and Shaw thinks the latest cliff fall was due to heavy wind and rain.
The light from Belle Tout is visible 20 miles out to sea, but it was decommissioned in 1902.
It is now a bed and breakfast with six rooms, with prices ranging from £175 to £265 a night.
The only one in the tower is the small, atmospheric Keeper’s Loft, where the bed is reached by a ladder.
Its 360-degree lookout features not only the waters of the English Channel, but also the Seven Sisters and the South Downs.
If you think you recognise the building, but aren't sure from where, it could be that you're a James Bond fan.
The lighthouse featured in The Living Daylights in 1987, with Timothy Dalton playing the suave super spy.
The cliff stands in for Gibraltar, and Bond's Land Rover is seen driving over the edge as he parachutes out of it to make his getaway.
It also featured in a 2010 film version of the Graham Greene novel Brighton Rock, which is set in the area.
Erosion has also been a big problem this year in Eastchurch, Kent.
Lorry driver Edd Cane had believed that his clifftop house would easily see him and his wife Lynn through their retirement.
But their joy turned to “heartbreak” in May because their dream home is in danger of disappearing over the edge.
The couple moved to the bungalow 15 years ago. At that time it sat about 27 yards back from the drop, behind another house.
But the 120ft-high clay cliff began to crumble 12 months ago. In June last year their neighbours’ home tumbled over the edge along with their car, leaving only the swimming pool undamaged.
The family, including four children, were unharmed but they left the house – which was called Cliffhanger – with just the clothes on their backs.
