Invasion at Portholland and Porthluney
In the summer of 1940 invasion was thought to be imminent. As stop lines were being prepared along the south west peninsula to prevent a two pronged invasion through Kent and through the south west, the beaches of the south Cornish coast were considered the most likely landing grounds. At St Michael Caerhays the coves of East and West Portholland and Porthluney were made ready for the invader. This video looks at what remains of those defences. The music is It's just too bad for nasty uncle Hitler by Ambrose and his Orchestra. Anyone with any information on the defences, especially the structures in the field at East Portholland, please post a comment.
