 its been going on for thousands of years robert ,about 1500 years ago the wirral extended a lot further north than it does now ,there was a forest/wood a mile out to where the shore now is ,and a lost village to ,the vikings from the isle of man often used to have markets on the sands as well .well documented if my memory serves me correctly .

any part of the coastline thats composed of soil rather than rock will erode over time .i believe the powers that be have taken the let nature take its course attitude rather than pump billions into coastal defences these days.

theres even a rather interesting book called "where troy once stood " that using the waymarks of odessyeus journey home actually places the real troy around the area cambridge/newmarket .ancient earthworks in the area lead to it being a possibility and the war raged over tin for bronze making rather than a woman.take away the fact of the drained fens etc and modern coastal defences and its feasible .

its also now a proven fact that as recently as 1500-2000b.c the black sea was a pleasant valley ,and rising sea levels at the end of the last mini ice age breached the bosphorus ridge the resulting deluge leading to the biblical tales of gilgamesh and noah . :sssshh:
