Full Description
March 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme
Possible World War Two activity in the form of a probable sports ground and possible underground air raid shelters is visible on aerial photographs (S1) on Thorpness recreation ground, Aldringham cum Thorpe. It appears more likely to be a recreational site than a military installation, and is only visible on one set of photographs, from 1942 (S1), but is no longer visible by the following year (S2).
