Description
WWII Defence of Clacton survey
Contemporary records show that a road barrier crossed Holland Road at or near the main junction in Little Clacton. The record reads, ‘Road Barrier. Holland Road. Map ref. 613369’. (Mil. Ed.)
From survey on the ground it appears probable that it crossed from ‘Cedars’ on the north side to a small outhouse in the garden of the Vicarage on the south side. Although both these buildings still survive there is no remaining indication of the road barrier. <1> <2>
