Steve, you are correct to describe the south side of the Graben as moving slowly seawards (and downwards) but the depression between it and the north side is not a sinkhole. A sinkhole implies that there is a void beneath. The Graben is more like a mini rift valley where the whole structure develops in an integrated way - and relatively slowly. The edges are defined by two parallel slip planes and as these separate from each other, the wedge of ground in between settles further and further to form the trough which can be clearly seen running across the grassy open space by Old Shute. This could all be explained much more clearly with a quick pencil sketch!!!!!!!

I was an Estate Agent in Ventnor about 20 odd years ago, a few of the houses we had on the market then have now been abandoned. I remember one of the properties on the esplanade was so crooked it made you feel drunk walking along the hallways. View was nice though!

Thank you for the video... really interesting. Are houses selling in Ventnor and are the locals very worried about it? You mentioned Bon Church and St Lawrence had movement this winter too, is there anywhere else we should cross off our list? We are looking to move to the IOW and obviously concerned about flooding and landslides. Thank you

You need to check out Hunts road. The landslip is devastating!

[@rogereheadbyrne4790]

Steve I looked on wikipedia as I've always thought Ventnor meant north vent and discovered in Anglo Saxon times it was called Holeweia and changed in the 12century to Holeweye I think referring to the spring water well on the downs above then in 1617 to Ventnor probably as the family name living there was le Vyntener I feel educated now! Haha Great Video as always👍

I'm speculating, but I reckon the "plan" for bath road is to wait for that wall to go and fix it all in one operation. Reckless, if so, but I do struggle to understand any other reason for their laissez-faire attitude

The wrong tarmac when will Island Roads learn.
