The Sole Bay Inn, Southwold
The battle of Solebay (Sole Bay) took place on the 28th May 1672. In the 17th Century, Southwold was England's main fleet anchorage. The town had Easton Ness to the North and Dunwich to the South so forming a bay called Sole Bay. Some maps record the name as Soul Bay while others as Sawolde Bay. Since then coastal erosion has straightened the coastline to the extent that a bay no longer exists.
