Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Low Grounds, Barmston, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Looking west-northwest across the low-lying farmland north of Barmston, with Hamilton Hill on the left. The structure right of centre in the distance is a concrete pillbox. The land around Barmston south of Bridlington is only a few metres above sea level and this area which is now constantly threatened by the North Sea was thought extremely vulnerable to enemy attack during World War 2 and was heavily fortified. Many major defensive installations have been destroyed by erosion and some pillboxes now close to the beach would once have been in supporting positions further inland. More of this concrete was removed in the 1970s and local farmers complained that this increased the rate at which farmland was washed away by the sea. Two nearby settlements called Hartburn and Winkton were abandoned in around the 15th century and have long since been lost to coastal erosion. |
