I would say that from that photo, that it is directly in front of Old Bye Eyes Farm, as children that was our play ground, there were pill boxes and a Tank trap which went from the Newburgh burn all the way along the back of the dunes past Chevington, the tank trap always had water in it but wasn't that deep and we collected newts and frog spawn down there every year. A lot of the blocks had hawser wire connecting them together but a lot had rusted away but still had strands sticking out of them and by the beach at Newburgh there were 2 gun emplacements, and I can still remember playing on the 3 tank hulks. Great memories I must admit. Its just a shame so many of my friends from that time have now passed on.
