A large collection of concrete Anti-Tank Blocks, have been collected between TG 5072 1731 and TG 5074 1729. The blocks have been moved and placed in lines to help provide sea defences for the Lifeboat Station at Hemsby. There is a continuous problem around the Norfolk Coast caused by coastal erosion.
Here are some photos showing the anti-tank blocks almost buried at one point, and now placed as sea defences.

The Anti-tank Block can often be found in a range of dimensions, but blocks built with sides measuring 3 feet 6 inch and 5 feet are most commonly found. Orders issued on 9th June 1940 that recommended blocks with sides up to 3 feet were deployed to counter tanks weighing up to 9 tons and 5 feet blocks used where heavier tanks, possibly up to 70 tons, could be embarked from landing craft, beaches specifically. Where possible, scrap metal was to be used to reinforce these cubes. A foundation depth of 2 feet was recommended by the War Office (1940). You will often find anti-tank blocks constructed on a ''raft'' foundation, with multiple blocks cast into the same foundation. Anti-tank blocks can be found either cast face to face or corner to corner, often in depth with two lines of off-set blocks being quite common. Anti-tank blocks will often be constructed on a raft foundation, ensuring the blocks are less susceptible to shifting sand and ensure integrity of the obstacle.
Anti-tank blocks were the only obstacles specifically recommended by the War Department until August 1940. Following the testing of anti-tank obstacles, orders were issued on 19th August 1940, outlining that blocks of 3 feet 6 inch or more were to be discontinued in favour of smaller cubes deployed in greater depth. The intention being to belly any tank that attempted to cross the obstacle.
