Description
At the junction of Green Lane and Cliff Parade there was a road barrier which ran across Cliff Parade between “The Anchorage” and the seafront (EHER 10617). This road barrier linked up with a long row of anti-tank cubes running along the seafront from the Eastcliff Hotel (EHER 10615). On the point of the junction, just outside the garden of “The Nest”, there stood a pillbox, effectively between the point of the garden and the road barrier on its NE side. The pillbox can be seen on February and July 1941 aerial photographs as hexagonal. Nothing of it now remains. <1> <2>
