Shingle Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shingle Street is a small hamlet on the Suffolk coast between Orford and Bawdsey. This part of the coast is also known as Hollesley Bay and there is the HM Young Offender Institution, Hollesley Bay Colony nearby.

During World War II many strange happenings have been reported to have taken place here, including a small scale German Invasion.[1]

Shingle Street was the inspiration of the Thomas Dolby song "Cloudburst at Shingle Street", from the album The Golden Age of Wireless.
