Site of Second World War road barrier, now destroyed. Contemporary records states, "16 concrete pimples. Lane End, Cliff Parade, Front garden. Map ref. 708406" (Mil.Ed.). <1> Aerial photographs taken in February and July 1941 clearly show these pimples as part of a road barrier across Cliff Parade. They ran in five rows from the front garden of a house now known as "Anchorage Lodge" SE across the road to the seafront a few yards NE of the junction with Green Lane. On the seafront, the pimples met the long line of anti-tank cubes (EHER 10615) which ended here. A pillbox (EHER 21459) stood in the roadway between the band of pimples and the apex of the Green Lane / Cliff Parade junction. <2> <3>
