Aldeburgh Aldeburgh No Data

Description


There is evidence of Roman settlement in the area where Aldeburgh is today. Due to the constant shifting nature of the coast around here the fortunes of Aldeburgh have risen and fallen with the tides. By the Tudor period the conditions had turned Aldeburgh into an important port on the North Sea, with a large fleet and an impressive town hall which still stands today. Over time the harbour silted up and fortunes of the town waned - though it survived, which is more than can be said for the fishing village of Slaughden - the final part of which was consumed by the sea in the 1930s
