Two Second World War bomb craters located to the north-west of Broadstairs Harbour and mapped from military aerial photographs taken in 1942.
The sub-circular craters are 4m by 2.5m and 8m by 6m, and are first visible on aerial photographs taken in May 1942 [1] and gone by April 1946. The area has been developed for housing by June 1980.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [2].
