Well the picture is gone now, however, in that picture that is gone, there was another drop off that looked like it was quite deep. Right now the houses are at the level of the upper cliff wall. The fillers are whatever rock, cement and fillers to bring it up to the current level. OK I see the picture now. See how it’s two levels and compare it to the size of the machinery. So they filled all that in.

I understand now, but I don't know if the old photos were taken in the same location as the new photos though.
