Site of Second World War bridge barrier at Broadwater Bridge (EHER 10442)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Now destroyed. The anti-tank blocks probably refer to a road barrier on Broadwater Bridge. This would be entirely logical as the GHQ Line crossed the road at this point. However, no sign of the blocks now remains.
