The Tower Ken used was at Beacon Hill, near to Point Clear, St Osyth
A second Martello Tower was built in St Osyth was Martello Tower B’ on Beacon Hill. This tower was demolished in c1967 to make way for a new housing development.
It had been owned by Mr Hyde who was a keen amateur astronomer and it was through this interest that he became a pioneer in Radio Astronomy with the tower roof housing a number of radio detection aerials to pick up signals from space.
