Lost in a Landscape: Little Hautbois
Another desertion. The photograph below was taken looking very roughly South at the present day situation of Little Hautbois; Little more than a row of houses just off the B1150, set in Pretty Farmland, it still just about clings on to its existence. As you follow the...
Dead cities: Langham Dome
A sort of anti-axis forces death star type thing. It looks a bit like one of those chocolate bombs or a steamed pudding, but about 18 feet high, made of reinforced concrete and painted black. Nestling on the edge of an abandoned airfield about 4 miles from the coast,...
Dead cities: Thorpe Abbotts
In February I was fortunate enough to get invited by Waveney Valley Community Archaeology Group with the permission of Lord Mann on a reconnaissance mission for a project they are doing on studying standing buildings on the site of Thorpe Abbotts airfield; A Second...
Coasting: Eccles beach – far away in time
Eccles beach. Not Echo Beach, but I like a nice inexpensive joke derived from a slightly odd eighties lyric now and again, you just watch me. There are a fair few Eccles in Britain the famous one is in Salford, where those crumbly buttery cakes with raisins in that...
Lost in a Landscape: Bawsey – the Church on the hill
It seemed rude not to, I’ve been driving past Bawsey for far too long, so on a trip to Derbyshire to drink and take in a band (Phantogram) with my Nephew Rich, I made an attempt to stop. In fact I had two attempts at it, Sundays’ mission was stopped by the...
Bixley – the lost village
Bixley barely exists as a place, not far from the A146, it is now largely a track to a church which until relatively recently served the rural surroundings and a diminishing population. The last human connections are the graveyard and the landscape itself which still...
Lost in a landscape: Caistor St Edmund – A buried town
Five miles to the South East of the modern nucleus of Norwich sits Caistor St Edmunds, on a rise in the land between the confluence of the River Tas and the River Yare near where the Wensum joins the “I’m the biggest River” bunfight and loses it...
Lost in a landscape: Godwick DMV
There are literally, really, honestly hundreds of these sites in Norfolk, I’ll do a post on them eventually. This one is one of my favourites; it’s remote, a bit hidden up and not exactly populated by other wanderers. The vast majority of these DMVs...Products

Just had a request which gave me a reason to look back at the material from the Vanishing Points exhibition from 2018 trying to find something. I've not looked at it since we packed it away, and it occurs to me that it's funny how easy it is to forget. It's nearly two years ago now. I'll periodically share bits of the exhibition which I hope will be readable on screen for now, but think these should probably be a pamphlet or short book. Anyway this is the exhibition panel about the Capes brothers. Paston, Tyne Cot and Thiepval.
