The British Geological Survey (BGS) estimated the landslip which caused the eventual destruction of the Holbeck Hall Hotel saw about one million tons of sandy, silty clay fall into the sea. It was caused by heavy rain, poor drainage and water pressure, according to the BGS.

What were the effects of the holbeck hall?

If you want to know what caused the Holbeck Hall to collapse it was a landslide caused by the heat cracking the clay, which was what the cliff was made of, and then the rainwater going in to the cracks and when the rainwater froze and then melted it caused the cracks to expand.
