Along the south coast between the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth is a shingle bay that played a prominent role in World War Two. In the corner of a football field is a plaque that commemorates the 60th. anniversary of the building 14 concrete caissons with the code name Phoenix that formed part of the breakwater of the Mulberry Harbours.
