Honeystreet - Defended Bridge
The anti-tank cylinders at the entrance to this defended bridge.
This bridge was well defended during WW2, as well as a pillbox it has three slots into which sections of railway line could be fitted to bar the way. The other defence was two anti-tank cylinders which could be placed for a more permanent barracade.
