“When I was small I was in love in love with everything now there's only you.” – thomas dolby, “cloudburst at shingle street”.

“Sandwiched between Bawdsey and Orfordness at the centre of Hollesley Bay, the village of Shingle Street also boasts a secret history. At the Public Record Office lies a slim, yellowing Ministry of Home Security dossier detailing 'Evacuation of civil population from the village of Shingle Street in East Suffolk.' Indexed as HO 207/1175, at one time its content was to have remained an Official Secret until 2021.” – james hayward, “the bodies on the beach”.
