Defence of Britain

The Defence of Britain Project involved 600 volunteers who documented nearly twenty-thousand 20th-century military sites around the United Kingdom.

The Project scope in its original form encompassed all 20th Century military structures up to the Cold War (circa. 1983). From September 1998, the principal focus was on WW2 anti-invasion defences. The stated aim of the Defence of Britain Project, as revised in 1998, was to:

Establish and maintain a standardised database of 20th century defensive sites within the UK, with a particular focus on Second World War anti-invasion defences, to inform conservation strategies, encourage further research and stimulate public interest in the subject.
