I’m working on a personal photography project which I’ve named Loopholes which focuses on the 1940 wartime defences that remain intact in Sussex. My recent work is around the banks of the river Adur in Shoreham and the south coast.

Above is the small, low slung machine-gun position on Lancing beach which now is overlooked by the more contemporary beach huts. The shingle has swamped this emplacement but it remains largely intact.

This is one of the infantry pillboxes along the east bank of the river Adur. A fine example of a second world war pillbox that is still in position after 85 years.

I’m working on a photographic project focusing on 1940s defensive structures in Sussex. I’ve named this project ‘Loopholes’ after the gun embrasures in the pillboxes (bunkers) that still exist 85 years after they were built.

Here are some recent test photos taken in digital in preparation for a medium format film camera shoot. These bunkers are along the banks of the river Adur in Shoreham-by-Sea on the edge of Shoreham airport.
