| Publisher Description: This book illustrates the history and development of military defenses 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 country's coast. The results of the survey were dominated by evidence for the military defense of the coast, reflecting the importance of the Suffolk coast in national defense strategies over many years. The book highlights the particular importance of historic aerial photographers, which provide a different, and often unique, perspective on the coastal defenses constructed in World War II. Photographs taken during and immediately after this war sometimes provide the only visual record of the rapidly evolving defenses from this period. |
