The sea defenses of Felixstowe are in a bit of a sorry state at the moment and from the sounds of things are gonna have to cope for now thanks to cuts in government funding. Every time there is bad weather they just get worse and even the new defenses don't seem to be lasting for long. And to sum Felixstowe up the pier in the background has been shut down for probably about 5 years due to it being unsafe; knowing it was once one of the longest piers in the country makes it all rather sad.

Prior to World War II and the invention of radar, acoustic mirrors were built as early warning devices around the coasts of Great Britain, with the aim of detecting airborne invasions. The most famous of these devices still stand at Denge on the Dungeness peninsula and at Hythe in Kent. Other examples exist in other parts of Britain (including Sunderland, Redcar, Boulby, Kilnsea) and Selsey Bill, and Bahar ic-Caghaq in Malta. The Maltese sound mirror is known locally as "the ear" (il-Widna) and appears to be the only sound mirror built outside Great Britain.
