Second World War road barrier, opposite Hilltop Nursery, Weeley Heath (EHER 21561)

A single concrete block is all that survives of a World War Two road barrier. It is on the east side, close to the road, largely covered in thicket. It is a standard 3 to 4 foot regular cube, the last remaining of a road barrier which crossed the carriageway here during World War Two. Local memory recalls three cubes here originally, blocking the major part of the road.

A few yards to the north of the pillbox which stands on the west side of the road at Hilltop Nursery, is a single concrete block. This is on the east side, close to the road, largely covered in thicket. It is a standard 3 or 4 foot square regular cube, the last remaining of a road barrier which crossed the carriageway here during World War Two. Local memory recalls three cubes here originally, blocking the major part of the road. Just a single carriageway allowed local traffic to pass. <1> Contemporary records state, “Road Barrier.
