Description
Essex County Council, 1968
Contemporary records state, "34 A/T blocks, 12 concrete pimples. "St. Anne's", 4th Avenue, Garden and grounds" <1> These anti-tank obstacles, at No.5 Fourth Avenue, were probably in the gardens on the south side of the house and filled the gap between No.5 Esplanade and Fourth Avenue. They possibly followed Fourth Avenue North to the building of "St. Anne's" before meeting a road barrier between here and the Grand Hotel opposite.
