Monument record MWX43413 - WWII slit trenching at Sir Roger Manwood's School, Sandwich
Summary
A short length of WWII slit trenching is visible in the grounds of Sir Roger Manwood's School, Sandwich on a 1942 aerial photograph. It appears to have been infilled after the war and recent aerial photography shows the area as covered by grass and trees.
It is possible that this feature may represent a temporary air-raid shelter as the School is recorded as housing evacuees from London during WWII.
