SoundLab Seaham: Coast at War Talk with Tees Archaeology


8th August 13.00 – 15.00 2024

Our North East coastline has long been a target for invasion and bombardment. Much of this history has left little trace; but standing coastal defence structures like the Fulwell Sound Mirror help tell the story of World War 1 in unique and facinating ways. 

Join Emma Watson, Team Leader Lead Archaeologist at Tees Archaeology, as she takes us through the history of sound mirrors and the reasons for their creation.
