It was during this process that farm worker, Raymond Williamson’s ploughshare uncovered a large metal object. Assuming that it was part of an old brass bedstead, he placed it on the edge of the field where it lay for several days. Experts from Norwich Castle Museum were only contacted after more artefacts were uncovered. They immediately identified them as Iron Age torcs made from gold. Williamson’s discoveries had already become known as the Snettisham Treasure when two years later ploughman Tom Rout unearthed another torc. This torc was massive – a whole kilogram of expertly-crafted gold. Now known as the Great Torc, it is on permanent display at the British Museum in London. Over subsequent decades, a dozen or so major finds were made in the area.

  • Next the Sea: Eccles and the Anthroposcenic
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham Next the Sea: Eccles and the Anthroposcenic David Matless Accepted for publication in the Journal of Historical Geography, May 2018 Abstract This paper considers the Anthroposcenic, whereby landscape becomes emblematic of processes marking the Anthropocene, through a specific site, Eccles on the northeast coast of Norfolk, England. The coast has become a key landscape for reflections on the Anthropocene, not least through processes of erosion and sea level change; the title phrase ‘next the sea’ here carries both spatial and temporal meaning. Through Eccles the paper investigates cultural-historical Anthropocene signatures over the past two centuries. Between 1862 and 1895 a church tower stood on Eccles beach; in preceding decades the tower was half-buried in sand dunes, but emerged after these were eroded by the sea. In 1895 the tower fell in a storm, although fragments remained intermittently visible over the following century, depending on the state of the beach. The paper takes Eccles tower as a focus for the exploration of themes indicative and/or anticipatory of the Anthropocene, including sea defence and geological speculation on land and sea levels, Eccles featuring in Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology. The tower became a visitor attraction, and discussions around the 1895 fall are examined, in relation to the spectacle of ruin, claims over the site, and anxieties over defence. The periodic beach exposure of bones from the former churchyard prompted reflections on mortality, also present in literary engagements with Eccles by figures such as Henry Rider Haggard.

  • Sea Palling Via Hempstead Heath
    Sea Palling via Hempstead Heath Sea Palling via Hempstead Heath Explore the coastal fringes of the broads then enjoy a beach walk back to the start Getting started There are two bus services reaching Sea Palling, Neaves service 36 Happisburgh-Stalham-Wroxham- Norwich and Sanders service 34 North Walsham- Mundesley–North Walsham. Get off the bus at the terminus on Clink Road, Sea Palling. Timetable information can be found on the Traveline website or telephone 0871 200 22 33. Unfamiliar with the area? You might find it helpful to take a map with you. Sea Palling is covered in the Clink Road bus stop Ordnance Survey Explorer Series, The Broads, map number OL40. Refreshments During the summer season there are various refreshment opportunities including Beach Rock Café and Coffee Shop, as well as an ice-cream parlour, snack bar and amusements at the end of Beach Road. Reefs Bar on Beach Road is open year round. Dogs are welcome. Reed-fringed ditches What to expect Allow at least 3 hours for this 6.2 mile walk. It takes you through a land of reed-fringed ditches, tree-lined farm tracks and winding country roads. The great variety of old wooden summer beach huts nestling at the base of sand dunes give an evocative reminder of the simple pleasures of a coast holiday. The walk finishes on a long stretch of beach. Although this is an easy, flat walk, the open landscape often has strong winds giving an added sense of exposure and that last beach section certainly makes your legs ache!

  • Coastal Command 16 Group
    Jordpersonel i færd med at udlægge 250 lb General Purpose sprængbomber foran Swordfish Mk III fra No. 119 Squadron på flyvepladsen B.83 Knocke le Zoute i Belgien. Bomberne skulle anvendes under eskadrillens anti-ubådspatruljer ved de allieredes forsyningslinier over Kanalen. 250 lb bomber havde ikke tilstrækkelig sprængkraft til at sænke en almindelig ubåd (undtagen ved en direkte træffer, hvilket var højst usædvanligt), men 250 lb GP var tilstrækkelig kraftig til at ødelægge en mini- ubåd af typen Biber eller Seehund, som var de ubådstyper tyskerne hovedsageligt anvendte i dette område. Sprængbomberne var også anvendelige mod motortorpedobåde, som var den anden store trussel mod de allieredes forsyningslinier. (IWM) Coastal Command 16 Group No. 16 Group fra Coastal Command havde helt andre arbejdsvilkår end No. 18 Group længere nordpå. No. 16 Group havde ansvaret for den fjendtlige kyst fra Blåvandshuk på den jyske vestkyst, ned over Den Tyske Bugt, de Frisiske Øer og videre langs den hollandske, belgiske og nordfranske kyst. To af No. 16 Groups eskadriller var hjemmehørende på Thorney Island og underlagt operativ kontrol af No. 19 Group. Det drejede sig om to eskadriller som kom fra Fleet Air Arm, nemlig No. 810 FAA samt No. 822 FAA. Begge enheder fløj Barracuda og havde til opgave at bekæmpe tyske ubåde i den Engelske Kanal. En tredie enhed fra Fleet Air Arm var stationeret på Bircham Ne3wton, nemlig No. 819 FAA, der opererede med ni Swordfish.
