Full Description
A section of beach defence scaffolding c 900m long can be seen running N-S alongside the sea wall, to the east of Lowestoft Denes, on 1941 aerial photographs (S1,S2). There are 2 structures incorporated into the length of scaffolding at TM55259510 and TM55319487. These structures may be pillboxes, but it is difficult to be sure form the aerial photographs.
