Description
Site of Second World War road barrier, now destroyed.
Contemporary records state, "four concrete pimples. 23 Suffolk Street, Front Garden. Map ref. 703397" (Mil.Ed.). <1> It is probable that these anti-tank obstacles formed part of a road barrier across Suffolk Street.
An aerial photograph taken in July 1941 shows this road barrier as five rows of staggered dots across Suffolk Street. <2>
