As an airbase, RAF Coltishall has a long and illustrious history, including being home to Douglas Bader, the Battle of Britain hero. Although none of the buildings have been deemed worthy of listing, we believe it is important to retain visual links that celebrate its past. Maintaining these links gives communities a sense of continuity - engendering pride in their shared history and bringing a sense of belonging.

It is not only built heritage that makes these connections. The British landscape is full of clues to its past and the Broads area is rich in history ; hedgerows and field boundaries, windmills and water towers, even the Broads themselves provide links with Norfolk’s past which resonate with us now.
