Surviving WWII concrete anti-tank obstacles at Cripps Corner, near Sedlescombe, East Sussex.

Surviving Second World War concrete anti-tank barriers at Cripps Corner, near Sedlescombe in East Sussex. Constructed in 1940 as part of Britain’s preparations against a possible German invasion, approximately 750 concrete blocks were installed around this strategically important fortified locality. Designed to obstruct enemy tanks and military vehicles, these substantial defences formed part of a wider network of roadblocks and defensive positions. Today, several blocks survive among the trees and hedgerows near Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard.
