Dunwich in Decline


In 1960, Anglia TV’s Newman Sanders visits Dunwich; once a town with a thriving community, now a small village. Sanders speaks to a few of Dunwich's residents including Mr E J Clark who tells the legend of the bell under the sea; Mrs Watling - whose husband’s collection of seashore relics now reside at Dunwich museum; and Reverend Johnson the Vicar of Dunwich and Westleton. A reflective piece for Anglia TV, part of the ‘Angle’ series, introduced by Dick Joice.
