Belle Vue Park (Sparrows Nest) is the site of the [[Royal Naval Patrol Service]] memorial. The central depot for the service was in Lowestoft when it was mobilised in August 1939, on a site known as Sparrow's Nest, adjacent to the memorial. The memorial has the names of the 2,385 members of the service who died in World War II.<ref name="memorialist" /> Prior to this, it was the site of the "North Battery", which stood on the cliff and was constructed in around 1782. It was a four sided bastion set back from the cliff edge, housing four 18-pounder canon, with a guardhouse and magazine to the rear. All traces are now gone, minus two cannons with are now mounted around the memorial.<ref>{{Cite web |title=North Lowestoft Heritage Action Zone, Lowestoft, Suffolk: Landscape assessment {{!}} Historic England |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/research/results/reports/90-2019 |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=historicengland.org.uk |language=en}}</ref>
