That big circle is a bus turn round point for visitors to the RSPBA site, the coaches drop off then drive down to the turning point, wait there till the visitors are ready to be picked up.During the war the sea came right up to the bottom of the bank in front of the bunkers and reclaimed from the sea in 30s till 70s by the boys of the North Sea Camp.The bunker with the watertank in was disguised as a shop, it had a searchlight in situ during the war and the tank was fitted by a local farmer years later.The bunker used to have a tiled peak roof on in and a fold down shutter on the front and a shop sign on the front of it.Pop down to the Museum Fri, Sat & Sun 10-4 Mon, Tues, Weds and Thurs they are closed as they have local school in for education and local community groups in.When you go to the museum ask for Ted and he'll tell you all about the history of the defences as he was in Freiston as a child and can recall the Home Guard there as well as the 6Lb guns and the disguised searchlight bunker !!The defences are known as Defence Area 35 are all owned by the RSPBA, NONE of it is in private hands.archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/catalogue//adsdata/arch-455-1/dissemination/pdf/Text_Reports/DA35_TEXT_-_FREISTON_SHORE.pdf
That's awesome info, thank u. The only problem with taking kids to museums is they get bored fast and we miss out on loads of info lol Thanks for watching and comenting 😀👍
@@manstufftvOriginal I do volunteering at the museum.. I 110% guarantee you they won't get bored. Paul, the curator, will show them how weapons work and how heavy they are. They can sit inside a 1:1 scale Lancaster cockpit (prop from a new movie called Lancaster Skies).. once the kids walk into the main hall they are in awe...
We've been, and loved it, Ethan had a great time and Paul was amazing with him but my boy does have a short attention span lol We will be back to the museum soon
