Defending Dorset in 1940: the Maiden Newton - Poole Harbour Stop Line (93)
-
Anti-tank Blocks: DoB ID: e24908
Poole - Tatnam Farm Allotments - Cubes. These anti-tank cubes in the allotments off Sherrin Close are a reminder that Poole was designated as an anti-tank island in 1940. There are over 30 "Dragon's Teeth" here, 6 have fallen, but around 20 are still upright, and they continue beyond into the grounds of St Mary's RC Church. These are the survivors of a continuous line that once extended from Poole Park to Creekmoor. The line went via Birds Hill Road and Garland Road, then north, before turning west along Sandbourne Road to join the anti-tank blocks here. The north of the town was an area that was considered particularly vulnerable, and accordingly where the defences were most concentrated.
