A series of very clear ground-level colour photographs taken by an American serviceman during World War Two shows local scenes around Wormingford airfield, where he was based.<1> One of these was taken looking N along Fordham Road from outside the entrance to “Rochfords”. Although clearly not the subject of the photo, an anti-tank cube stands by the roadside. Such cubes, in this position, are almost always the fixed element of a road barrier. The entrance to the airfield was just a few yards further to the N and a road barrier here would have been sited to guard the approach to this entrance. Nothing of the barrier now survives.
