Coastal Suffolk

Author: Robert Simper

This book is an attempt to paint a picture of the towns, villages, countryside and rivers of the Suffolk coast. It can be tempting to portray the Sufiblk coastal area, in paint, photographs and words, as being simply beautiful views and wonderful countryside suitable for birds. In fact, it is a place where pcople live and which they feel strongly about and is an area that has often been in the front line of events
