May be too expensive/impossible to protect Withernsea &c; if so, Lincs/Yorks becomes 1 big bay http://www.hull.ac.uk/coastalobs/eastgarton/erosionandflooding/index.html
Lincolnshire saw less loss, poss as protected by offshore islands until c.13thC; lost villages after this tho', incl Mablethorpe St Peter, >
