To listen for approaching enemy aircraft. Developed around about 1920's I think, they would have given about 6-10 minutes early warning, but as planes got faster they became less effective and then radar was developed. For more info type "sound mirrors" into Google
You are right it is, and unique too. This is One of only Two sights where all three sound mirrors are together. Touble is they are on an island and can only be visited by the occassional guided tour. However you can get this close although the path to them is across private land
Thanks Keith, definately sunset, I don't get up that early on holiday. It was taken in June about 9:30 in the evening, the sun sets more northerly at that time of the year. Sorry about the flare, it was only taken on a Kodak compact camera, as were all the rest. I've since upgraded to a Canon EOS so any more additions should be better

I was very suprised to this after the winter we've had and all the renovation work that has been done to the pond and surounding area

I often see lots of people fishing but I'm no fisherman, gave it up as a kid as all I managed to catch was weeds and flu
