Description
Second World War road barrier across the east end of Woodberry Way. It has now been destroyed.
An aerial photograph taken in July 1941 shows a road barrier across the east end of Woodberry Way. It appears as five rows of staggered dots between a building on the north corner and No. 1 on the S corner. <1>
The building on the north side is, in fact, the old railway station.
Site visit by F. Nash in March 2012
The railway station building is now private residences with an extension on the corner. On the south side the house is Southcliff Lodge.
