Here Turner has studied the Castle at Orford on the Suffolk North Sea Coast. These sketches and others (Tate D18304–D18307, D18309; Turner Bequest CCIX 86a–88, 89) are associated with a vignette watercolour of Orford Haven produced in around 1827 for the East Coast series (see general introduction) and the highly finished watercolour Orford, Suffolk of the same date intended for the England and Wales print publication project.1
