Product Description

"Suffolk's Defended Shore" illustrates the history and development of military defences on the Suffolk coast using data collected during an English Heritage national survey. This involved the examination of both modern and historic aerial photographs in order to create a map of archaeological remains on the county's coast. The results of the survey were dominated by evidence for the military defence of the coast, reflecting the importance of the Suffolk coast in national defence strategies over many years.The book highlights the particular importance of historic aerial photographs which provide a different, and often unique, perspective on the coastal defences constructed in World War II. Photographs taken during and immediately after this war sometimes provide the only visual record of the rapidly evolving defences from this period. Using modern and historic aerial photographs, and interpretive illustrations based on the survey data, the book provides an overview of Suffolk's military coastal defences and demonstrates the value of aerial photographs as a resource for studying these types of remains.
