Second World War Defended Locality DL25 at the Dust Heap in the St. Gregory's Crescent area of Gravesend. It was part of the anti-invasion defences and probably originated in 1940 and seems to have commanded the approaches from the east into Gravesend. The precise nature of the defences is unknown but the garrison was 50, having 38 rifles, 4 Browning Automatic Rifles, 2 Browning Machine Guns and 2 tank guns. The defended Location was probably decommissioned by early 1944 and nothing of it remains.
