Overview
- East Riding of Yorkshire Council has urged people to stay away from the cliff top and the beach below the Tunstall site due to the risk of collapse.
- The bunker, built in 1959 as a Royal Observer Corps observation post and decommissioned in the early 1990s, now hangs about 25 feet above the sand.
- Responsibility for the structure rests with the private landowner, the rural beach is managed by the Crown Estate, and the council says it has no statutory duty for it.
- The location is within a Shoreline Management Plan area designated for no active intervention, so no new coastal defenses are planned.
- Local historian Davey Robinson is documenting the bunker daily and says it may be only days from falling, with his January 19 video showing it still intact.
