Coastal erosion has recently revealed what I believe are the foundations of WW2 anti-tank cubes at Millclose Howle, they were not visible on the current Google Earth images.
The cubes would have blocked access at this point by invading tanks.
The cubes themselves were probably destroyed soon after the war, but these stubs remain.
A block of three is fully revealed, but there are more still hidden under the soil that appear more intact.

Sun Inn, Spout House, Bilsdale
Spout House is a 16th century cruck framed farmhouse, named after a nearby spring.
It became an ale house known as the Sun Inn in 1714
The new pub opposite the house was built in 1914 and the original Sun Inn closed.
Remarkably the old house was then left undisturbed with its original furniture until 1979 when it was taken over and re-opened by the National Park Authority.
An upper bedroom gives a view of the A-shaped cruck frame.
