The West Sussex coast has always been vulnerable to attack across
the channel from mainland Europe and as a result has been strongly
defended from the possibility of such attach. In this book local
author and archaeologist Chris Butler looks at the defensive sites
surviving in the West Sussex landscape, the majority dating to the
Second World War. Although focusing on anti-invasion sites, a whole
range of defence sites are considered, including barracks,
airfields, training centres and civil defence sites such as
air-raid shelters. Using the author's own extensive knowledge and
fieldwork, this comprehensive study of defensive sites from the
Tudor period batteries to Cold War ROC underground monitoring
posts, explores the remains of these rapidly disappearing sites and
provides a guide for those readers interested in visiting the sites
for themselves. This is the companion volume to East Sussex under
attack, published by Tempus in 2007.
