The recording of 20th-century wartime landscapes on the home front, as opposed to landscapes of war in overseas battle zones, has had a chequered history since its inception in the 1970s. Made up of seemingly endless defence types, the subject has still not fully shaken off its reputation as a form of military train-spotting. However, recording has now gone well beyond this stage, adopting holistic approaches which recognise that inter-related networks of defence were of varying strategic importance with cores and peripheries, and that a fuller appreciation of the historical context comes from a study of structures and documents within the three main physical theatres in which warfare was conducted and organised, that is, by land, sea and air.The following licence files are associated with this item:
