Shingle Street
Visit to Shingle Street yesterday, first time since the end of 2021. For walking and fresh air rather than photography, but took a few snaps.
Shingle Street Book – Comments
Roy Hammans (https://real-photographs.co.uk/author/roy_h/) shares my love of Shingle Street and has sent very kind comments on my book. Love the book, thank you for sending it. Although familiar with the location of course, it brought a whole new dimension to … Continue reading

Shingle Street – Final
Shingle Street is made up of a massive undulating spinal shingle bank, which runs for a mile and a half from Orford Haven in the north to a Martello tower and Bawdsey Beach in the south, and the eponymous hamlet … Continue reading

Shingle Street 31
In my last post about Shingle Street (9th September 2021) I mentioned ‘a final visit to be made’ before completing the edit of the photographs. I made that trip on Sunday 5th December – it’s only a final visit for … Continue reading
Shingle Street – German Ocean Mansion
Shingle Street is not somewhere you go for the architecture. Pevsner ignores it in his Suffolk, though that is no surprise. Its distinctions are found in the works of nature, not humankind. Yet the hamlet is not without interest, with … Continue reading
Shingle Street 29
A visit to Shingle Street yesterday – first since October 2020 – a day of haze and bright April sun with skylarks singing and hares out on the marshes. The cycle of changes rolls on: a new island has formed … Continue reading
Shingle Street 28 – Oxley Marshes
Shingle Street doesn’t appear on any 18th century maps. Where the hamlet now stands was a bleak, deserted, curve of coast facing the sun: on one side the sea and shifting shingle banks of Hollesley Bay; and on the other … Continue reading
Shingle Street
Low tide reveals the London clay on which the shingle bank at Shingle Street is built.
Shingle Street 26 – Shell Line
Sculptors have drawn the shell line with the chalky remains of the common whelk, or buckie, Buccinum undatum. Shellcraft artists have punctuated the line with a crown of bleached common starfish, Asterias rubens, and a necklace of purply ridged common … Continue reading
Shingle Street Tank Trap
A row of 22 anti-tank blocks stride across the marsh at the south end of Shingle Street where it joins Bawdsey Beach. Today it seems a strange spot for such defences, but once it blocked an exit off the beach … Continue reading
Shingle Blue
Blue rope at Shingle Street autumn 2020.
Shingle Street 24
Is there a single word that expresses Shingle Street’s sense of place? I’ve described it variously as curious and haunting, alien and austere, words associated with its remoteness, the overwhelming size of the shingle bank and the always threatening presence … Continue reading
Shingle Street 23
Shingle Street now has two tidal lagoons. A new lagoon has formed to the north of the original one, close to the cottage known as The Beacon, since I was there in December 2019. At high tide today it was … Continue reading
