The Dover Coastguard has said that the collapsed chalk extends about 150 yards (137m) from the base of the cliff and is 20 feet (6m) high in places.

Chalk from the White Cliffs of Dover collapses
Several tonnes of chalk from the White Cliffs of Dover have collapsed into the English Channel following the recent wet and windy weather.
Fierce winds on the English coastline and rain, which was absorbed into the chalk, caused the famous cliff to weaken.
A large section of the cliff face tumbled to the shore near St Margaret's Bay.
