WWII coastal gun battery photographed by D.A. Edwards (NLA 157/AXX4)

This Second World War coastal gun battery at Mundesley was built in 1941 and is 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 stores and shelters. The two flat-roofed buildings to the left originally housed generators for searchlights that accompanied the battery.
