Southwold had its first air raid during the First World War. Bombs were dropped from the L6 German Zeppelin bomber - a kind of hydrogen filled airship - in 1915. One incendiary bomb landed in a coal truck in Southwold Railway Station. The picture is of a fragment from the L48 Zeppelin which was shot down and crashed in a field at nearby Theberton in 1917.
