PICTURES show the extent of a large cliff fall at a beauty spot.
Before and after photos show the difference in the cliff top at Seaford Head after huge volumes of rock crashed down from the cliff onto the beach below earlier this week.
The pictures were captured by Seaford resident Mike Vingoe who took the shots from his bedroom window.

The landslide on Monday evening left an enormous mound of white rock piled up at the foot of the cliffs, covering the beach and extending into the sea.
Safety warnings were issued following the cliff fall, with walkers and residents again urged to stay well back from cliff edges.
It comes after rainy weather last month caused cliff tops to become crumbly and unstable, with coastguard crews responding to a series of dangerous incidents – including a large gap which opened up in the coastal path between Seaford Head and Hope Gap, which had to be cordoned off.

Coastguard deputy controller Dai Jones said: "If you’re lucky enough to live near the coast and be in a position to take your exercise there in line with local Covid-19 restrictions, please do be careful near cliffs.
"Some of them are really unstable at the moment and could easily collapse.
"Stay well back, wear appropriate sturdy footwear and ensure that you check tide times and weather before setting out.
"If you or someone else is in difficulty call 999 and ask for the coastguard."
