Anti-Tank barrier on Bow Bridge – Axminster, United Kingdom

On the westside of Axminster at the Trafalgar way is a single construction on the West side of Bow bridge over the Ax river. This large block once was an anti-tank barrier with old railway lines and sleepers. There was a second block, a companion block, on the other side of the road. But due to road widening and construction of a footbridge one of the blocks was removed. The anti-tank barrier was supported by 13 tetrahedra and 18 mines.
