Anti-tank Defences on Eastney Beach

Anti-tank Defences on Eastney Beach

One very familiar sight on the beach at Eastney are the concrete blocks and cubes scattered around infront of the old military test station. These blocks actually have more of a function than simply being fun to climb up and stand on, they are an original World War 2 beach defence against tanks. Local campaigners have managed to get these defences Grade II listed by the Secretary of State and are now seeking funding to create two illustrated signs to be located on the beach.
