EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Dunwich EAW024304" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the village and common of Dunwich, Suffolk. Taken from a unique aerial perspective in July 1949 by Aerofilms Ltd, this image showcases not only the serene beauty of the coastal landscape but also highlights numerous anti-invasion defences that were put in place during World War II. The view captured here is nothing short of breathtaking. The vast expanse of the sea stretches out before us, meeting with the rugged coastline in perfect harmony. The village itself stands proudly amidst this picturesque setting, its quaint charm juxtaposed against the strategic fortifications dotting its surroundings. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, it becomes apparent that it serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by uncertainty and conflict. The anti-invasion defences visible within the frame stand as silent sentinels guarding against potential threats from across the sea. These structures bear witness to a time when communities like Dunwich had to be prepared for any eventuality. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print allows us to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate both the natural beauty and human resilience displayed in times of adversity. It serves as a testament to those who lived through such turbulent periods and reminds us never to take our freedom or peaceful existence for granted.
