[Return to results list]

Line of concrete blocks erected by Yorkshire Hennibique Co. as a sea barrier. Known locally as 'The Teeth'. [see also UORN 13835]. [Local sources that the foreman building the blocks, named Alf, was terrified of being hit by a bomb, and took cover whenever an aircraft appeared. Later in the war, he was killed by a bomb while working in Liverpool: the mortuary where his body lay was then bombed, and eventually also his grave!].
