Residents of Surf Crescent in Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey, felt earth creaking' beneath them

Residents of a Kent village have been forced to flee their homes after part of a nearby cliff fell into the sea.

Twenty homes were evacuated from Surf Crescent in Eastchurch, on the Isle of Sheppey, after residents heard the earth creaking' beneath them before a section of cliff fell away.

One resident, Malcolm Newell, said his neighbours in Cliffhanger Cottage told him about the collapse.
