Monument record MWX43475 - WWII bomb craters west of Sandwich

Summary

Seven WWII bomb craters are visible on 1940s aerial photographs lying in an arc running between Ash Road and Woodnesborough Road. They were mapped from these photographs as part of the English Heritage: Richborough Environs Project. It has been suggested that apparent gaps in the spacing of the craters may indicate the presence of unexploded bombs.
