Selsey's secrets under the sea
Outside of West Sussex, it isn't widely known that Selsey played a role in the D-Day landings, in the construction of Mulberry Harbours. These huge concrete structures which rose and fell with the tide to enable loading and unloading of materials and supplies to assist with the invasion. Off the shores of Selsey two of these immense concrete structures remain where they unfortunately sank, unable to reach French waters.
