MARKS OF CONFLICT
Paul Burgess ARPS
14 – 24 September 2022
A new solo exhibition of photographs, exploring how conflicts over the centuries have marked the landscape. Wednesday 14th September until Saturday the 24th September.
The south of England has been the defensive front line of the UK since the iron age when the Roman legions landed at Richborough in Kent. Since then, successive conflicts have left their marks on the landscape in the form of earthworks and structures. Many of these sites present a multi-layered history of conflicts over hundreds of years, for example, Grain Fort, which started life as a fort to defend the Medway estuary from the Dutch Navy, supported naval guns in WW1 and an anti-aircraft battery in WW2
