    What a great find and the building work that went in to it just shows the skill of the bricking in those days no plumb lines no spirit levels Thanks again Ian

    That large block of cement in the doorway might be to limit the amount of troops charging the door, creates a funnel to allow the defenders to kill the attackers.

    Great lines used to play in thes as kids , that concrete wasn't there when we was younger them tunnels stretched for miles , but looks like most of it's been bricked off

    Just a thought: could that concrete block that you wondered if it was an anti tank defence, could it have been for trucks to back up to so they could load / unload as the other side of it was an angled approach?

    • @Mythricia1988
      @Mythricia1988 8 років тому +1

      It's from the Napoleonic wars era, according to description. Seems like there's been some modifications over the years though, like what he assumed was a tank blockade from WW2 (I think he's probably right - to stop vehicles moving through).

      Sparks Nation That is not relevant... Any regular civilian wouldn't typically be able to identify whether or not it was fake. One way or another if someone is wearing a countries flag on their shoulder with a rank anywhere on the jacket, is giving off an intentionally false implication.
