%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%The walls of a former coastguard cottage left teetering on the edge of chalk cliffs have been demolished.

The property is just six inches from the end of the cliff at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, East Sussex, because of fast-paced erosion - and work is being carried out to take it apart before it falls into the sea.
