Sorry about the grainy nature of this. It's taken from the Boat Cove footbridge, a full kilometre away from this scene of rails hanging in mid-air above a chasm, which made the headlines the previous day (5th Feb - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26042990 ), and has been heavily cropped. Because of the angle of view, the endangered house in Sea Lawn Terrace is out of sight to the left. Image] show the terrace and more context.
