Full Description
The site of a Royal Observer Corps monitoring post Number 6/G3. The site is located (with the surface features intact) just inside the eastern perimeter fence of the disused Beccles Airport, 50 yards west of an unnamed minor road. The site was built as part of an extensive network of posts designed to confirm and report hostile aircraft and nuclear attacks on the United Kingdom. At the time of the Defence of Britain survey (1995-2002) the site was found to be in a good condition. The site was opened during June 1960 and closed in September 1991
