Dragons Teeth Dragons Teeth English Heritage

Description


Located behind Waverley Abbey these World War II anti-tank blocks were installed as a preventative measure. The area was one that the UK government identified could be at risk after invasion and the idea was to make bringing tanks up the river and onto land at this point impossible. For blocks of concrete that are now over 80 years old they have weathered well.
