Monument record TR 15 NW 937 - Second World War ‘roadblock’ at a farmers’ bridge near Canterbury Cemetery (bridge mined for demolition)
Summary
By mid April 1941 a single-span wooden farm bridge, over the Dover, Canterbury, Whitstable Stop Line, in a field near the south-west corner of the northward extension of Canterbury Cemetery had been prepared for demolition. The bridge was probably a wartime structure erected by or on behalf to the farmer, across the new anti-tank ditch.
