You join us this week at Mundesley on the east Norfolk coast to take a look at this emergency coastal WW2 gun battery.
Built in 1941 it's the best surviving example of its type in Norfolk. Two 6 inch guns were mounted on the octagonal concrete platforms and were linked at the back by a range of underground ammunition stores and shelters.

We are always incredibly grateful for any support given however small and will thank you with a special mention at the end of our videos.
Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you a enjoyable view , the insanity of councils cutting off the bolts ,very sad !
With all the bolted gun emplacements we've visited over the years we can honestly say we've never come across one that has deliberately been defaced like this by the local council especially after all the years it had been like that.. I'm sure if they were concerned about safety there must have been a better way..
Thanks for watching, glad you found it interesting 😊
Thank you for the walking tour this day. Always are exploring and explaining to the viewers. God bless you and your family. Cheers Em and Stu! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you Martin, glad you enjoyed watching. We always like to try and explain what we're showing the viewers the best we can.. Thanks again as always 😊👍
I love watching your videos. I can’t say that military locations interest me but you two are just so watchable and brilliant narrators. Thank you both.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Kate, we do try and make our videos as interesting but still entertaining as we can so glad you like them and the feedback is very much appreciated.
Thanks for watching. Em and Stu 😊👍
Another fascinating video and a great example of the defences we had. The health and safety stuff really did make me chuckle, I bought some batteries from Amazon for a couple of AirTags that I use and I had an email recalling them because there was a danger of ingestion. No good though because I'd already eaten them! It's crazy
It was such a shame, like I said we've been to many gun emplacements in our time but never seen one where they felt the need to do this.. Health and safety really has gone mad! 😒
Thanks for posting.
I was born in Linford Essex just up the road from East Tilbury and Coalhouse fort
We've been to East Tilbury numerous times, it's also has a very interesting military history as u can imagine being right in the Thames Estuary as I'm sure you know.. Thanks for watching 👍😊
Thanks for sharing this fascinating video - nice to see you guys back in Norfolk 🙂
Thanks! It's nice to get some local videos done but not been easy getting to places recently with all the flooding around the countryside.. hopefully it's starting to dry up abit now as we have plenty planned around Norfolk this summer.. Thanks for watching as always 😊👍
Good explore. Most interesting to hear about this location. Your knowledge on these old military sites is impressive.
Thanks Alice, we've picked up alot of knowledge over the last few years whilst out exploring, we just find the history so fascinating. Thanks for watching again as always 😊👍
Some nice drone shots and information there , loved it 👌
Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Glad you liked it, were slowly getting better with the drone! 😆
This ones on my list to explore! Looks beautiful!
Its a interesting little place to explore.. Don't forget to check out the Battery at Happisburgh too if you haven't already 😉
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu Oh yes! I forgot about that one! Last week I went to RAF Thorpe Abbots and found some awesome old buildings, think you've already been there I remember watching the video! Then popped in the 100th Bomb Group memorial museum whilst we were there!
Great explore as usual. That's my car in the carpark I was looking for Mundesley roc post but sadly all remains have been destroyed. Shame about the damage done by the council.
Oh really that's a shame, that ROC post was in fairly good condition 15 years back.. I suppose the farmer got fed up having to plough around it all the time 😔.
I hear Aylsham post is quite decent but not been to it yet ourselves..
@ExploringWithEmAndStu yes I think the farmer did get fed up it was right in the middle of the field. Aylsham is on my next to do . 👍
ANOTHER GOOD VIDEO,THANKS
Thank you very much 😊
Interesting video with good attention to detail.
Thanks Ray, hoping to visit more sites like this over the next few months. 😊👍
Looked in there many years ago before it was bricked up but there was so many rat's didn't get far .
Haha yeah these places do have abit of a habit of attracting the rats! You should see the ones at Happisburgh battery lol.. 😆
