On a visit to Southwold I found this plaque on one of the buildings in the town. The building was the headquarters for the British forces during the period of the Dutch war 1665 - 1672.
The Battle of Sole Bay took place off Southwold. There is a 'Sailors Museum' further down the street, overlooking the sea, which also has a number of naval exhibits. Although set in a small room it is packed with naval and nautical memorabelia.
The building itself has a small memorial to the event.
From the outside it is a very unassuming building but has a great history.
