Decoy air-field - Cliffe

As I strolled through the marsh, the soft crunch of gravel underfoot and the chorus of chirping birds surrounded me. Suddenly, I spotted an intriguing small bunker partially concealed by thick vegetation. It was a structure I had never encountered before, . Eager to explore, I realized I had never ventured this far into the marsh 

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the bunker was largely empty, its concrete walls weathered by time and nature. Despite its desolate appearance, there was something compelling about this hidden relic. I could almost hear the whispers of history echoing within its confines. 

Later, while chatting with a local resident, I learned that this bunker was part of an old decoy airfield, which is believed to date back to the years 1941-1942. It was fascinating to think about the role it might have played during the war and how it likely saw the hustle and bustle of military activity in its past. This newfound knowledge made my discovery feel even more significant, connecting me to a piece of history that had long been forgotten in this tranquil marshland.
