Summary

The Pilbox Study Group note the site of a probable Second World War roadblock on Jolliffe Road at its intersection with Jolliffe Avenue and Marnhull Road, inferred from RAF aerial photographs dated January 1947. The roadblock appears to form part of a linear band of defences marked by discontinuous and irregular lines of concrete anti-tank blocks to the north (at least three lay in the garden of what is now No. 35 Jolliffe Road) and south.
