I've passed these Second World War Anti Tank Cubes for over 40 years now, and they've endured well, a few may have slumped a bit over that time and scratched graffiti appears and fades again; though built in haste with whatever was a hand, 70 years on they're not too shabby. They once extended four times as far inland to cut the peninsular off, though now only this section and a few displaced blocks of the seas side of the toll road remain. It's funny, we rave about castles, stately homes and other historic monuments, although we tend to neglect World War Two remains, yes there's a slight upturn in interest, stimulated by anniversaries, but on the whole such sites go unnoticed and untended or worse, are destroyed. Short sighted in my opinion.
