Monument record MWX43354 - WWII bomb craters south of Boxlees Hill, Minster Marshes

Summary

At least 26 bomb-craters are visible in the field immediately southeast of the sewage works at Boxlees Hill on 1940s aerial photographs. It is probable that these derive from a WWII bombing raid as similar features are visible 100m to the southwest and 40m to the south. Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that they have been infilled and levelled.
