 Thetford nodal point - Thetford defences were prepared for all-round defence in June 1940 and then developed as a category 'A' nodal point (no. 4 region). Cassini ref. G30.   Also, originally part of the Thetford to Brandon Demolition Belt (along the River Little Ouse) and subsequently the stop line running from the mouth of the River Orwell, via Ipswich, the River Gipping, Haughley, Tostock and the Little Ouse to Euston. These positions helped link the Suffolk coast with the Eastern Command Line.
