Full Description
Possible Second World War anti-tank block, by the side of the A16. {1}{2}
The block is visible on Google Street View. It appears as a rough cube of concrete, to the immediate south of the entrance to The Coach House. This location seems to be an unlikely choice for a roadblock, and the cube may not be in its original location. Possibilities for the original position might include the nearby Uffington Bridge crossing the River Welland (see MLI30049). {3}
