Full description
If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.
Two Second World War bomb craters with upcast, located on the North Foreland golf course, are visible on military aerial photographs taken in 1941.
The craters were mapped from photographs taken in December 1941 [1] and are both still visible in April 1946 [2]. The crater to the SW is still partially visible in April 1950 [3]. By June 1979 there is no sign of either of the craters [4].
The area is still in use as a golf course and it is possible that the features are still evident.
The crater to the NE measures 13m in diameter and the one to the SW is 9m in diameter.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [5].
