Possible Second World War anti-tank cubes are visible on vertical aerial photographs of 1941 arranged five lines deep on the beach at Littlestone-on-Sea. These features were mapped from aerial photographs as part of the South East RCZAS NMP project. The mass of anti-tank cubes is centred at TR 0853 2470, and extends approximately 673m SSW to NNE from TR 0846 2439 to TR 0858 2504. There appears to be an 18m-wide break in these defences at TR 0855 2485. This bank of anti-tank cubes is an unusual arrangement, as they are more often found in single lines. They are arranged here in five parallel lines, spaced roughly 1-2m apart. By the time of the vertical aerial photograph of 1946, this anti-invasion obstacle appears to have been removed (1-2).
