Sussex / Re: What happened in Rustington and Littlehampton during WW2?

hi, i don't know if your still teaching the topic but the seafront was cordoned off with barbed wire there was a blockhouse at the bottom of sea lane the foreshore was full of land mines sometimes if the sea was rough it would set them off.in 1940 twelve high explosive bombs were dropped on the village damaging 50 houses, the village was frequently being disturbed by low flying enemy aircraft nuisance raids appearing suddenly from over the sea with machine guns blazing.the worst raid of the war occurred on 8th may 1942.A bomb demolished a house in Seafield Road.Two people were killed,five seriously injured and many others had minor wounds,most of the large houses and all the hotels were taken over by the armed forces.In1941 the Canadian troops arrived where they stayed for three years.In 1945 a mosquito night fighter from Ford airfield crashed into a house in Chaucer Ave, killing the crew  and three civilians, a baby was badly burnt but survived with her mother
