Full Description
WWII barbed wire visible on aerial photographs taken in 1942 [1], but not in 1946 [2], located in Walmer. The wire was located on land just above the beach and was attached and functionally related to barbed wire obstructions upon the beach (MWX43647) (MWX43648). This section of barbed wire ran N-S along the coast for 545m. This wire was not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [3 and 4].
This structure lay directly upon a barrage balloon site (MWX43645).
