Looking for a tank trap - a photo on Flickriver

            When my grandparents bought theie plot at 370 Old Heath Road, Colchester, they knew there was a tank trap in the front garden.

They managed to disguise it very effectively by growing honeysuckle over it. Subsequent owners seem to have taken a similar, though possibly less attractive, approach to hiding a large cube of concrete.

Here I am trying to locate it under a mountain of shrubs.

I often wondered why it was there. Presumably it was something to do with the firing range over the road on the Wick.
