EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the grandeur and historical significance of Burgh Castle, located in Norfolk. The photograph showcases the Classis Britannica, a Roman fort that was later repurposed as part of the Saxon Shore defenses. Its strategic position overlooking the River Waveney is evident from this vantage point. The image beautifully encapsulates layers of history within its frame. From the well-preserved Roman walls to remnants of medieval structures, every detail tells a story. The viewer can trace back centuries through time as they explore this remarkable site. Damian Grady's skillful photography highlights both the architectural prowess and natural beauty surrounding Burgh Castle. The lush green landscape provides a stunning backdrop against which these ancient ruins stand tall. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes clear how important Burgh Castle was in safeguarding Britain's shores during turbulent times. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout different eras. Historic England has once again captured an extraordinary moment frozen in time with Damian Grady's lens. This photograph not only invites us to marvel at our rich heritage but also encourages us to delve deeper into our past and appreciate the legacy left behind by those who came before us.
