This work comes from the book Romney Marsh and the Royal Military Canal, first published in 1980 by Wildwood House Ltd, with text by Richard Ingrams. Romney Marsh is situated in the South East corner of England and is an area of low meadows, sea-walls, ditches, sheep and sea birds, bounded by the maritime towns of Winchelsea, Hythe and Rye. The Royal Military Canal was built in the early 1800s as a defence against a possible invasion from Napolean. Dungeness is the site of one of the UK’s largest nurclear power station. The nearby beach is made of shingle which is shifted by the tides and winds forcing the coastline into the sea. This lighthouse is now landlocked and a new lighthouse has since been constructed.
