Farewell To A Landmark

[ChrisB]

I and I am sure many others who travel The Coast Road will miss this landmark twix Mundesley and Trimingham.

Blimey it's hatched at last! Well it is spring.

Gonna be a huge chicken!

I thought it was now at Neatishead?  There is one there now?

[TheQ]

A new one was constructed at RAF Neatishead over the last year and a bit. The resident TPS 77 Radar  has moved there.

It's moved because the road and site at Trimmingham is now begining to fail due coastal erosion.

When it finally falls into the sea there's a huge R1 underground bunker under there, that'll make its own sea defence.

Thanks for that information  Q👍

I did see the one at Neatishead / Horning being built and did wonder why the requirement for two so close together.

I saw Neatished's from below St Benet's today. It's such a visible landmark that I was embarrassed I hadn't noticed before. What a relief to find out that it wasn't there last time I cruised! It wasn't my mind!

The new Neatishead one stood out against a very dark sky the other week.  Also visible from Horning Church - it really does stand out!
