More about this scene
This tranquil scene shows the village green in this attractive coastal village. Some thirty years later, Bawdsey was to play a vital part in the defence of Britain. This is where the scientist Robert Watson-Watt developed radar. The first radar research station was set up at the manor in 1936, and was used extensively to pick up raiding Luftwaffe aircraft during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
