Tank Painting, 1940, Walter Bayes
From Peter Stanier, Dorset in the Age of Steam:
"Surviving Second World War coastal defences include concrete anti-tank cubes or dragons' teeeth, although they have been cleared at places like Charmouth. Good examples remain at Pondfield, Worbarrow Bay (SY 871797) and Kimmeridge".
