The Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GNJR) was a railway network in England, in the area connecting southern Lincolnshire, the Isle of Ely and north Norfolk. It developed from several local independent concerns and was incorporated in 1893. It was jointly owned by the Midland Railway and the Great Northern Railway. Along what is now known as 'Marriotts Way' is a crossing which looks to be prepared for ''demolition''.
There are a pair of back filled round holes on either side of the bridge, these were possibly drilled out during the war and packed with explosives, these would have been detonated in the event of an enemy invasion, destroying the crossing, impeding the enemies advance. I've been unable to find any proof to back this up though.
Bridges, Railway Bridges and other key points were prepared for ''demolition'' at short notice by preparing chambers filled with explosives, a Depth Charge Crater was a site in a road (usually at a junction) prepared with buried explosives that could be detonated to instantly form a deep crater as an Anti-Tank Obstacle. The Canadian Pipe Mine (later known as the McNaughton Tube after General Andrew McNaughton) was a horizontally bored pipe packed with explosives, once in place this could be used to instantly ruin a road or runway. Prepared demolitions had the advantage of being undetectable from the air, the enemy could not take any precautions against them, or plot a route of attack around them.
Crossing points in the defence network, bridges, tunnels and other weak spots were called 'Nodes or Points of Resistance'. These were fortified with removable Road Blocks, Barbed Wire Entanglements and Land Mines. These passive defences were overlooked by Trench Works, Gun and Mortar Emplacements, and Pillboxes. In places, entire villages were fortified using Barriers of Admiralty Scaffolding, Sandbagged Positions and Loopholes in existing buildings.
Nodes were designated 'A', 'B' or 'C' depending upon how long they were expected to hold out, Home Guard Troops were largely responsible for the defence of Nodal Points and other centres of resistance, such as towns and defended villages. Category 'A' Nodal Points and Anti-Tank Islands were usually garrisoned by regular Troops. The rate of construction was frenetic, by the end of September 1940, 18,000 Pillboxes and numerous other preparations had been completed. Some existing defences such as Mediaeval Castles and Napoleonic Forts were augmented with modern additions such as Dragon's Teeth and Pillboxes, some Iron Age Forts housed Anti-Aircraft and Observer Positions. About 28,000 Pillboxes and other Hardened Field Fortifications were constructed in the United Kingdom of which about 6,500 still survive. Some defences were disguised and examples are known of Pillboxes constructed to resemble haystacks, logpiles and innocuous buildings such as churches and railway stations.

I took too long getting this shot and as a result got a rather stern visit from the Triborough Authority police. The conversation went something like this:
TA Cop: What are you doing here?
Me: Taking some photos.
TAC: For what purpose?
Me: I just wanted to get a few shots of Red Hook.
TAC: Can I see?
Me: Sure. *I begin scrolling through all my photos (twice!).*
TAC: Why are you taking these photos?
Me: Just for photography. You know. Art.
*TAC gives me a weird look.*
TAC: Alright. That's fine I guess.
Me: Can I take your photo?
TAC: No. *drives away*
