Tribute to Benjamin Britten : Words from Britten's Peter Grimes This sculpture, created by local artist Maggie Hamblin, resides on the beach at Aldeburgh. Although it caused some consternation when erected it now sits quietly, pondering over the sea and is now visited quite frequently. I have actually cheated in as much as the image is "flipped" in order to have the poetry reasonably legible against the setting sun (west) which is actually behind the piece. In reality, one needs to be facing seaward (east) to read the words.

The House in the Clouds, near Thorpeness The House in the Clouds was built in 1923 as the Thorpeness water tower, disguised as a house to avoid it being an eyesore. Originally it was a five storey house underneath the water tank, which itself was hidden by enclosing it in a house-like structure complete with pitched roof. Later, when Thorpeness was linked to a mains water supply, the tank inside was dismantled and the space turned into additional living accommodation making the house you see today.

The Haven What little of this grid square is not at sea lies to the east (right) of Haven House seen at the left of this photograph. Thorpeness is in the distance. Kite flying is banned on The Haven between 1 May and 1 August in order not to frighten away the ground nesting birds such as the ringed plover and skylark which frequent the short rough ground cover shown in the foreground.
