Forgotten outposts: Brandiston type 22
There are hundreds of these scattered across Norfolk, it’s not a modern phenomenon either. Defence starts at the gate to your house, there’s ramparts and forts, dating from the late Neolithic to fairly recent lumps of Cold War concrete dotted about on...
Coasting: Winterton’s war
Yet more lumps of concrete, I doubt a the vast majority of people even give them a thought apart from trying not to scratch the car. Bit strange though, 13 ton blocks of concrete in a car park, and on the beach in one of those lovely little Norfolk corners. Winterton,...
Coasting: Horsey
Horsey is a curious area, it’s always felt like slightly dead ground to me, for the uninitiated it is just to the North of Winterton and South of Waxham, it has it’s own Broad a large flat expanse of water edged by windpumps, dunes and intermittent seals....
Coasting: Kelling Hard and Salthouse

Stumbled across some archived scans looking for something else this morning. These are from a project I ran through my work at Starfish in 2017 for The Assembly House Trust, we uncovered a wealth of material dating from the late 1940s to the rebuild after the Fire. These were I believe taken by Eric Sexton, then a leading light in trying to preserve various buildings in Norwich. He did quite a lot of recording work in the early 1960s, these are from that collection. Here you can see Stump Cross, Coslany Street, and Red Lion Street. I’ll dig the rest at some point.
