Mudslide in England Captured on Video

Thirty-five homes were evacuated after a mudslide in Nottinghamshire, England, threatened a residential neighborhood on November 7.

Following severe rainfall in parts of northern and central England, a cliff face collapsed behind residences in Mansfield’s Berry Hill Quarry, a former quarry.

Resident Áine Shepherd recorded a video of the sliding mud and trees from her neighbor’s home.

The Mansfield Police reported 35 houses were evacuated after the mudslide, with the Mansfield District Council describing the evacuations as a “precautionary measure” as an assessment of the cliff face and properties took place.

“The issue of Berry Hill Quarry is a hugely complex one due to the proximity of the residential area to the quarry structure,” said Hayley Barsby, Chief Executive of Mansfield District Council.

Some residents have returned to their properties, according to a press release from Mansfield District Council. Credit: Áine Shepherd via Storyful
