Full Description
Contemporary records state, "Road Barrier. Jankes Green Railway Bridge. Map ref. 349484". (Mil. Ed.) The anti-tank ditch of the Eastern Command Line crossed the lane a few yards W of the bridge. A road barrier would have connected the ends of the ditch N and S of the road, and an aerial photograph taken in 1946 shows the ditch on the N side of the road with two white marks, possibly anti-tank blocks, beside the road between the ditch end and the roadway.<1><2>
