Aldeburgh: Slaughden 
Description
The small fishing village of Slaughden sat to the south of Aldeburgh. It's original location was on a spit of land that formed the entrance to the natural harbour that brough Aldeburgh it's wealth. Over time the river silted up which, combined with erosion from the north sea slowly narrowed the spit of land taking the village with it. The last traces of the village were washed away in the 1930s. Today nothing of the village remains - though the Martello tower remains as a reminder of where the end of the land used to be. Sign boards give some background to the village, and from here you're able to see the site of the river and north sea separated by a spit of land less than 100m wide.
