St Margaret's Bay, Kent.
Various shots of a deserted and derelict seaside village near Dover. The pre-war holiday resort was taken over by the War Office during World War II and used as a training ground in street fighting for commandos. Several shots of bomb damaged buildings, bullet holes in walls, broken windows, damaged hotels and a ruined veranda. Pan across a wreckage-strewn swimming pool.
