MARTELLO TOWERS

Originally 103 towers were built to resist Napoleon at the start of the 19th century, stretching from Sussex to Suffolk. 45 of the towers still remain, but many are in ruins.

The East Anglian towers can be seen on the coast near Aldeburgh, Shingle Street, Bawdsey, Walton and Seawick.
