Description
Site of Second World War road barrier, now destroyed.
During World War Two, each of the four arms of the Kirby Cross junction was crossed by a road barrier. The contemporary records state, “Concrete cubes. Front of premises 5, Shop Parade, Kirby Cross.” <1>
The Defence of Tendring survey 2009
The Parade is a row of single-storey shops on the east side of Halstead Road. No 5 is halfway along. Presumably, the road barrier crossed here, about 30/40 yards from the junction.
