East of England
We have undertaken a number of archaeological landscape investigations in the east of England; below are some examples of sites we have worked on in the past few years.
-
In 2006 English Heritage took the unique opportunity to record the drawdown and closure of RAF Coltishall as it happened. This has enabled us to create an informative and poignant photographic record. -
Martello towers are some of the most evocative structures on the Essex and Suffolk coasts. The survival of some of these structures is now greatly threatened by coastal erosion. -
Framlingham Castle in Suffolk was briefly the home of Mary Tudor; today, it is one of the most beautiful ruins in England. Our recent investigation has transformed the understanding of the castle's landscape setting. -
Grime's Graves in Norfolk is the only Stone Age flint mine in Britain where you can go down into the 5,000 year old workings. New research is helping to make the shafts that are no longer open more accessible. -
Tilbury Fort in Essex was built by Charles II to guard the Thames estuary, the most vulnerable gateway to London. Our on-going investigations are helping to bring the site's rich and varied history to life for visitors. -
Landguard Fort in Suffolk is one of Britain's best preserved and most complex coastal defence sites, the guardian of the sea approaches to Harwich Haven for almost 500 years. As the modern container port nearby rapidly expands, we need to show why the historic site is worth protecting.
