2. Bawdsey Manor
Link

Immediately behind Tower T is Bawdsey Manor purchased by the Air Ministry in 1936 to establish a research station for developing the Chain Home RDF (radar) system. RAF Bawdsey was a base through the Cold War until the 1990s. A remaining radar mast can be seen on the skyline to the right of the manor house. There is radar museum in the manor grounds Link

3. Orfordness Lighthouse
Link

To the right of the headland at Bawdsey on the skyline the lighthouse is visible. It was demolished in July 2020, just after this picture was taken. To the left of the lighthouse are various of the buildings including the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment on the Ness. The Radar Tower is identifiable. Link

Until I got this picture home and could blow the picture up to full size I did not know that I had a photo of the lighthouse and I had not been aware that it even was possible to see it up the coast past Bawdsey. See John Sutton's earlier shot of the lighthouse from Felixstowe Link
